Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Lasst der Spötter Zungen schmähen,
Es wird doch und muss geschehen,
Dass wir Jesum werden sehen
Auf den Wolken, in den Höhen.
Welt und Himmel mag vergehen,
Christi Wort muss fest bestehen.
Lasst der Spötter Zungen schmähen;
Es wird doch und muss geschehen!

Aria. Let the scoffers' tongues disparage

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Let the scoffers’ tongues disparage,
It will and must come to pass,
That we will see Jesus 
Upon the clouds up above.
The world and the heavens may pass away,
But Christ’s word shall stand firm.
Let the scoffers’ tongues disparage,
It will and must come to pass!
