Heiland, unsre Missetaten
Haben dich verkauft, verraten,
Dich gegeißelt, dich gekrönt,
An dem Kreuze dich verhöhnt.

Laß dein Leiden und Beschwerden,
Jesus, uns zu Nutzen werden,
Laß durch deine Todespein,
Herr, uns nicht verloren sein!

Saviour, our misdeeds
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
 Saviour, our misdeeds
 have betrayed and finished you;
 you have been scourged, crowned with thorns,
 and derided upon the cross because of them.
 
 Let your pain and sorrow,
 Jesus, be of use to us;
 through the pain of your death,
 Lord, let us not be lost!
