3:08Am Abend, da es kühle war, Ward Adams Fallen offenbar; Am Abend drücket ihn der Heiland nieder. Am Abend kam die Taube wieder Und trug ein Ölblatt in dem Munde. O schöne Zeit! O Abendstunde! Der Friedensschluß ist nun mit Gott gemacht, Denn Jesus hat sein Kreuz vollbracht. Sein Leichnam kömmt zur Ruh, Ach! liebe Seele, bitte du, Geh, lasse dir den toten Jesum schenken, O heilsames, o köstlichs Angedenken! In the evening, when it was cool, Adam's fall was manifest; In the evening the Redeemer cast him down; In the evening the dove returned, And carried an olive branch in its mouth. O beautiful time! O evening hour! Peace is now made with God, For Jesus has endured his cross. His body comes to rest, Ah, dear soul, prithee Go, bid them give thee the dead Jesus, O wholesome, O precious keepsake!
