Choral. Das wollst du, Gott, bewahren...
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Das wollst du, Gott, bewahren rein
Für diesem arg'n Geschlechte;
Und lass uns dir befohlen sein,
Dass sichs in uns nicht flechte.
Der gottlos Hauf sich umher findt,
Wo solche lose Leute sind
In deinem Volk erhaben.

Chorus. God, preserve your true word
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
God, preserve your pure [word]
Before this vexing generation;
And let us so obey your commands,
That nothing may turn us away.
A throng of nonbelievers surrounds us,
Where wicked individuals
Are exalted among your people.
