Zum Paradies mögen Engel dich geleiten,
die heiligen Märtyrer dich begrüßen und dich führen in die heilige Stadt Jerusalem.
Die Chöre der Engel mögen dich empfangen
und durch Christus, der für dich gestorben, soll ewiges Leben dich erfreuen.
(aus der Totenliturgie)
May angels guide you to paradise,
may the holy martyrs greet you and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem.
May the choirs of angels receive you
and through Christ, who died for you, may eternal life rejoice you.
(from the liturgy for the dead)
Two years after its publication, Bertold Hummel revised this motet on 14 October 1997 and made small harmonic and rhythmic additions.
