Wer kann da Korn anschaun
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Dutch (Nederlands)
Wer kann da Korn anschaun
Und nicht gedenken,
Welch edle Speis es ist,
Und's nicht gedenken!
Wer kann da Wein anschaun
Und nicht gedenken,
Welch edler Trank es ist,
Und's nicht gedenken!
Wer kann da Christe sein,
Und nicht gedenken,
Wes Fleisch und Blut er eß und trink,
Und's nicht gedenken!

Who can look upon wheat
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Who can look upon wheat
And not think
What noble fare it is,
And not think of it!
Who can look upon wine
And not think,
What a noble beverage it is,
And not think of it!
Who can be a Christian,
And not think of
Whose flesh and blood he eats and drinks,
And not think of it!
