(My rather over-literal translation of the hymn text):
Lord God, now open the heavens,
My time approaches its end;
I have completed my course,
for which my soul rejoices,
I have suffered enough,
I am tired of struggling,
Send me gently to my everlasting rest.
Allow to pass away those who on earth
wish to be blessed.
As you have commanded me, Lord,
I have with true faith
held on to my dear Saviour
in my arm in order to see you.
Hope to endure, will enter fresh
From the valley of tears
Into the hall of joy.
Allow to pass away those who on earth
wish to be blessed.
Just let me, Lord,
like Simeon
go in peace to you,
Commit me to Christ your Son,
who will preserve me,
who will guide me truly
adorn me in heaven
with honour and glory,
and go on from there.
Allow to pass away those who on earth
wish to be blessed.
