Wenn wir in höchsten Nöten sein

(Sung text for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Wenn wir in höchsten Nöten sein
Und wissen nicht, wo aus und ein
Und finden weder Hilf noch Rat,
Ob wir gleich sorgen früh und spat,

So ist das unser Trost allein,
Daß wir zusammen insgemein
Dich rufen an, o treuer Gott,
Um Rettung aus der Angst und Not.

 ... 

Sieh nicht an unser Sünden groß,
Sprich uns davon aus Gnaden los;
Steh uns in unserm Elend bei,
Mach uns von aller Trübsal frei;

Auf daß von Herzen können wir
Nachmals mit Freuden danken dir,
Gehorsam sein nach deinem Wort,
Dich allzeit preisen hier und dort.

Quan estem en la més gran fretura

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Quan estem en la més gran fretura
i no sabem què hem de fer
i no trobem ajut ni consell,
encara que ens angoixem tothora,

llavors, el nostre únic conhort
és que reunits, ensems
et cridem, oh Déu fidel,
perquè ens alliberis de la por i la fretura.

 ...
