Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE POL
Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält,
Wenn unsre Feinde toben,
Und Er unsrer Sach' nicht zufällt
Im Himmel hoch dort oben,
Wo Er Israels Schutz nicht ist
Und selber bricht der Feinde List,
So ist's mit uns verloren.

Were the Lord God not with us
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Were the Lord God not with us,
When our enemies are raging,
And if he would not stand for our cause
There above in heaven,
Were he not Israel’s defense
And destroy the guile of the enemy himself,
Then, all would be lost for us.
