Once more with joy O my home I may meet,
Once more ye fair, flowery meadows I greet.
My Pilgrim's staff henceforth may rest
Since Heaven's sweet peace is within my breast.
The sinners plaint on high was heard,
Accepted by the gracious Lord.
The tears I laid before His shrine
Are turned to hope and joy divine.
O Lord eternal praise be Thine!
The blessed source of Thy mercy overflowing
On souls repetant to seek Ye, all-knowing
Of hell and death, I have no fear
My gracious Lord is ever near.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Eternally, Eternally.
Auf Wiedershen!
