I have had my invitation to this world's festival [German translation]

I have had my invitation to this world's festival,

and thus my life has been blessed.

My eyes have seen and my ears have heard.

It was my part at this feast

to play upon my instrument,

and I have done all I could.

Now, I ask, has the time come at last

when I may go in

and see thy face

and offer thee my silent salutation?
