Text:

Es ist vollbracht!
O Trost vor die gekränkten Seelen!
Die Trauernacht
Läßt nun die letzte Stunde zählen.
Der Held aus Juda siegt mit Macht
Und schließt den Kampf.
Es ist vollbracht!

English translation:



It's done!
Oh consolation for the injured souls!
This night of mourning
Let the last hour draw to a close.
The hero from Judah wins with might
And completes the fight.
It's done!
