Original text and translations

German.png German text Es ist genug:
Herr, wenn es dir gefällt,
So spanne mich doch aus!

Mein Jesus kommt:
Nun gute Nacht, o Welt!
Ich fahr’ ins Himmelshaus

Ich fahre sicher hin mit Frieden
Mein grosser Jammer bleibt darnieden.

Es ist genug,
Es ist genug!

English.png English translation

It is enough:
Lord, if it pleases Thee
I'll lay my burden down!

My Jesus comes:
I bid the world “farewell”!
I seek my heav'nly home.

I travel safely there with contentment
My earthly cares no more important.

It is enough,
It is enough.
