Laß, o Fürst der Cherubinen,
Dieser Helden hohe Schar Immerdar
Deine Gläubigen bedienen;
Daß sie auf Elias Wagen
Sie zu dir gen Himmel tragen.

5. Aria
Let, O Prince of holy Cherubs,
This heroic lofty throng evermore
Over your faithful flock be tending.
That they on Elijah’s chariot
Them to you in heaven carry.
