When you, my dearest, ascend to heaven

When you, my dearest, ascend to heaven,

I will carry my heart to you in my hand.

So lovingly will you then embrace me,

Then we will lay at the Lord's feet.

And when the Lord God sees our love-sorrows,

He will make one heart out of two loving hearts,

He will join two together to make one,

In Paradise, shone all around by heaven's flames.
