Es ist das Heil uns kommen her
Von Gnad' und lauter Güte,
Die Werke helfen nimmermehr,
Sie mögen nicht behüten,
Der Glaub' sieht Jesum Christum an
Der hat g'nug für uns all' getan,
Er ist der Mittler worden.

Salvation comes to us

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Salvation comes to us
from grace and simple goodness:
no longer will good deeds help us -
they may not protect us!
Faith recognizes that Jesus Christ
has done enough for all of us;
he has become our intermediary.
