Ich bin mit euch, spricht der Herr! Das Panier, drauf ihr sollt schauen, Ich die Burg, der ihr sollt trauen, Mir vor Allen gebt die Ehr! Ich bin mit euch, ich der Herr! Ich bin mit euch, spricht der Herr! Kann in bängster Noth euch stärken, Daß ihr meinen Arm sollt merken, Der zerbricht Geschoß und Speer! Ich bin mit euch, ich der Herr! Ich bin mit euch, spricht der Herr! Will vorausziehn in dem Streite, Oder steh' an eurer Seite, Schirmend euch mit meiner Wehr! Ich bin mit euch, ich der Herr! Ich bin mit euch, spricht der Herr! Wollt ihr mich zum Hort erküren, Werd' ich euch zum Siege führen, Dräut der Feind auch noch so sehr! Ich bin mit euch, ich der Herr!

I am with you, speaks the Lord! The banner upon which you should look, I am the fortress that you should trust, Give honour to me before all others! I am with you, I the Lord! I am with you, speaks the Lord! I am able to strengthen you in the most fearful adversity, So that you shall perceive my arm That shatters bullets and spears! I am with you, I the Lord! I am with you, speaks the Lord! I shall go before you in the battle, Or stand at your side, Shielding you with my defense! I am with you, I the Lord! I am with you, speaks the Lord! If you choose me as your refuge, I shall lead you to victory, No matter how terribly the enemy threatens! I am with you, I the Lord!
