SO lebet dann die reine Schaar Im innern Tempel hir beyfammen Entrissen aller Welt Gefahr In heisz verlibten Lives flammen And lebet dann in Noffnung hin Nach der begluckten Freiheit die dort oben Da sie nach dem Verlibten Sinn Ihn ohne Zeit und End wird loben.
Text of one of the

on the walls of the Saal The Cloister, Ephrata
