Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Fluthen des Jammers rauschen heran, 
Herr, durch die Fluth auch machst du mir Bahn! 
  Ewiger König, noch hab' ich ja dich, 
  Denk' an mich und rette mich! 

Weh! zerschlagen ist Seel' und Gebein, 
Du, Herr, wägst meine Last allein! 
  Ewiger König, noch hab' ich ja dich, 
  Denk' an mich und stärke mich! 

Du kannst helfen in aller Noth, 
Du kannst reißen aus Höll' und Tod! 
  Ewiger König, noch hab' ich ja dich, 
  Denk' an mich und segne mich!

Floods of sorrow approach with a rush

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Floods of sorrow approach with a rush,
Lord, through the flood Thou makest a path for me as well!
  Eternal King, I still have Thee,
  Think of me and save me!

Woe! my soul and my bones are shattered,
Thou, Lord, alone weighest my burden!
  Eternal King, I still have Thee,
  Think of me and strengthen me!

Thou canst help in all distress,
Thou canst tear us from hell and death!
  Eternal King, I still have Thee,
  Think of me and bless me!
