Our translations: ENG

Welt, zage nur mit den verruchten Sündern,
der Urteilsspruch bringt dir die Höllenpein.
Ich freue mich mit allen Gotteskindern,
denn unser Teil wird in dem Himmel sein,
doch Gott wills allen gern bereiten,
er predigt Buße für und für.
Drum Mensch, bekehre dich beizeiten,
die Ewigkeit ist vor der Tür.

Recitative: World, tremble with the debased sinners

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

World, tremble with the debased sinners,
The verdict will bring you the agony of hell.
Along with all of God’s childen, I am happy
That our portion will be in heaven,
Indeed, God gladly prepares it for all,
The Lord preaches repentance forever.
Thus, humankind, mend your ways at once,
Eternity stands at the door.
