Wir wachen oder schlafen ein, So sind wir doch des Herren; Auf Christum wir getaufet sein, Der kann dem Satan wehren. Durch Adam auf uns kömmt der Tod, Christus hilft uns aus aller Not. Drum loben wir den Herren.

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.
