O Gott, mein Gebieter,
ich hoffe auf Dich!
O Jesu, Geliebter,
Nun rette Du mich!
Im harten Gefängniß,
In schlimmer Bedrängniß
Ersehne ich Dich;
In Klagen, Dir klagend,
Im Staube verzagend,
Erhör', ich beschwöre,
Und rette Du mich!

Prayer

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Oh God, my Master,
I place my trust in Thee!
Oh Jesus, Beloved,
Save me now!
In a cruel prison,
In sore distress
I yearn for Thee;
In lamentations sobbing to Thee,
Despairing in the dust,
Hear my plea, I implore Thee,
And save Thou me!
