Sie stellen uns wie Ketzern nach, Nach unserm Blut sie trachten; Noch rühmen sie sich Christen auch, Die Gott allein groß achten. Ach Gott, der teure Name dein Muss ihrer Schalkheit Deckel sein, Du wirst einmal aufwachen.

Ils nous poursuivent comme hérétiques, Ils ont soif de notre sang ; Ils se proclament qu'ils sont chrétiens, Et qu'ils adorent Dieu. Ah Dieu, que ton nom précieux Doive couvrir leur méchanceté. Un jour tu te réveilleras.
