English Translation |
|
1 |
Nun laßt uns Gott, dem Herren,
Danksagen und ihn ehren
Von wegen seiner Gaben,
Die wir empfangen haben. |
Now let us to God, the Lord,
give thanks and honour him
on account of his gifts
which we have received. |
|
2 |
Den Leib, die Seel, das Leben
Hat er allein uns geben,
Dieselben zu bewahren,
Thut er nicht etwas sparen. |
Body, soul, life
he alone has given to us,
and to preserve these
he spares nothing.. |
|
3 |
Nahrung giebt er dem Leibe,
Die Seele muß auch bleiben,
Wiewohl tödliche Wunden
Sind kommen von der Sünden. |
He gives food for the body,
but the soul must also survive,
even even though mortal wounds
come from our sins. |
|
4 |
Ein Arzt ist uns gegeben,
Der selber ist das Leben.
Christus, für uns gestorben,
Der hat das heil erworben. |
A physician is given to us,
who himself is life.
Christ, having died for us,
has obtained salvation. |
|
5 |
Sein Wort, sein Tauf, sein Nachtmahl
Dient wider allen Unfall,
Der Heilig Geist im Glauben
Lehrt uns darauf vertrauen. |
His word, his baptism, his supper,
are proof against all misfortune,
the holy spirit in faith
teaches us to place our trust in these. |
|
6 |
Durch ihn ist uns vergeben
Die Sünd, geschenkt das Leben,
Im Himmel solln wir haben,
O Gott, wie große Gaben. |
Through him sins are forgiven,
we are granted life,
what great gifts, oh God,
we shall have in heaven. |
|
7 |
Wir bitten deine Güte,
Wollst uns hinfort behüten,
Uns Große mit den Kleinen,
Du kannst nicht böse meinen. |
We pray that your kindness
may henceforth protect us,
both great and small,
you cannot intend evil. |
|
8 |
Erhalt uns in der Wahrheit,
Gieb ewigliche Freiheit,
Zu preisen deinen Namen
Durch Jesum Christum, Amen. |
Keep us in the truth,
grant everlasting freedom,
to praise your name,
through Jesus Christ, Amen. |
