Gethsemane
Language: German (Deutsch)
Alle Menschen sind der Heiland.
In dem dunklen Garten trinken wir den Kelch.
Vater, laß ihn nicht vor bergehn.
Wir sind alle einer Liebe.
Wir sind alle tiefes Leid.
Alle wollen sich erlösen.
Vater, deine Welt ist unser Kreuz.
Laß sie nicht vorübergehn.

All men are the Redeemer.
In the dark garden we drink from the cup.

Let it not pass from us.
