Gleichwie die wilden Meereswellen Mit Ungestüm ein Schiff zerschellen, So raset auch der Feinde Wut Und raubt das beste Seelengut. Sie wollen Satans Reich erweitern, Und Christi Schifflein soll zerscheitern.

Juste comme les vagues sauvages de l'océan, Au milieu d'une tempête briseront un bateau, La colère de l'ennemi fait rage Et dérobe le bien le plus précieux de l'âme. Ils cherchent maintenant à agrandir le royaume de Satan, Et à faire couler le petit navire du Christ.
