Lobsingt, lobsinget Gott; lobsingt, lobsingt mit Freuden dem Könige der Heiden, dem Herren Zebaoth. 2 Der Herr wird aufgenommen, der ganze Himmel lacht: um Ihn gehn alle Frommen, die Er hat frei gemacht. Es holen Jesum ein die lauten Cherubinen, den hellen Seraphinen muß Er willkommen sein. 3 Wir wissen nun die Stiege, die unser Haupt erhöht; wir wissen zur Genüge, wie man zum Himmel geht; der Heiland geht voran, will uns nicht nach sich lassen; Er zeiget uns die Straßen, Er bricht uns sichre Bahn. 4 Wir sollen himmlisch werden; der Herre macht uns Platz. Wir gehen von der Erden dorthin, wo unser Schatz. Ihr Herzen macht euch auf! wo Jesus hingegangen, dahin sei das Verlangen, dahin sei euer Lauf. 5 Laßt uns zum Himmel springen mit herzlicher Begier; laßt uns zugleich auch singen: Dich, Jesu, suchen wir; Dich, o Du Gottes Sohn, Dich Weg, Dich wahres Leben, dem alle Macht gegeben, Dich, unsers Hauptes Cron! 6 Ade! mit deinen Schätzen, du Truges-volle Welt; dein Koth kann nicht ergetzen. weißt du, was uns gefällt? der Herr ist unser Preis, der Herr ist unsre Freude und köstliches Geschmeide, zu Ihm gilt unsre Reis'. 7 Wann soll es doch geschehen? Wann kömmt die liebe Zeit, daß wir Ihn werden sehen in seiner Herrlichkeit? du Tag, wann wirst du sein, daß wir den Heiland grüßen, daß wir den Heiland küssen? Komm, stelle dich doch ein.
