Wir wachen oder schlafen ein,

Choral. Que nous soyons éveillés ou endormis

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Que nous soyons éveillés ou endormis,
Nous appartenons au Seigneur ;
Si nous sommes baptisés dans la Christ,
Il peut nous protéger contre Satan.
À d'Adam la mort vient sur nous,
Christ nous aide dans toute détresse.
C'est pourquoi nous louons le Seigneur.
