Accompagnato: Der jüngste Tag wird bald sein Ziel erreichen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FIN

Der jüngste Tag wird bald sein Ziel erreichen,
und was die Welt nicht gläubet, wird geschehn.
Mich dünkt, es lassen sich schon Zeichen
am Himmel und auf Erden sehn.
Die Zeit ist kurz, drum tobt der arge Feind,
ach denkt doch dran, ihr sichern Leute,
wer weiß, ob nicht der Richter annoch heute
plötzlich erscheint.

Accompanied: The day of judgment will soon be realized

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

The day of judgment will soon be realized,
And that which the world doubts will occur.
I believe that there already are signs
In heaven and on earth to be seen.
The time is short, and the evil enemy revels,
Ah, consider this well, you complacent people,
Who knows whether the judge, even today,
May suddenly appear.
