 (Sung text for setting by J. Bach)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Erschrecket, ihr verstockten Sünder!
Ein Tag bricht an,
Vor dem sich niemand bergen kann:
Er eilt mit dir zum strengen Rechte,
O! sündliches Geschlechte,
Zum ewgen Herzeleide.
Doch euch, erwählte Gotteskinder,
Ist er ein Anfang wahrer Freude.
Der Heiland holet euch, wenn alles fällt und bricht,
Vor sein erhöhtes Angesicht;
Drum zaget nicht!
