German.png German text

Im Himmelreich ein Haus steht,
dahin ein goldener Weg geht.
Die Säulen die sind Marmorstein,
da legte unser Herr hinein
die edelsten Gesteine.
In dieses Haus geht niemand ein,
der nicht von allen Sünden reine.

English.png English translation

In the kingdom of heaven is a house,
to which a golden path leads.
The columns are of marble,
Our Lord laid in there
the most precious stone.
Into this house no-one goes,
who is not cleansed from all sin.

Translation by James Gibb
