Christ fuhr gen Himmel.
Was sandt er uns hernieder?
Den Tröster, den Heiligen Geist,
zu Trost der armen Christenheit.

Des solln wir alle frölich sein,
Christ will unser Trost sein,
Halleluja!

What has He sent to us poor Christians?
The Holy Spirit has come

Alleluia!
Therefor we all sing joyfully.
