Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

O weh demselben, welcher hat
des Herren Wort verachtet
und nur auf Erden früh und spat
nach großem Gut getrachtet!
Der wird fürwahr gar kahl bestehn
und mit dem Satan müssen gehen
von Christo in die Hölle.

Choral: O woe to the one who has

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

O woe to the one, who has
Disdained the word of the Lord
And on the earth, only early and late
Has striven toward the Good.
That one will be found completely bare
And will be compelled to go with Satan
Away from Christ and into hell.
