Wär Gott nicht mit uns diese Zeit, So soll Israel sagen, so should Israel say, Wär Gott nicht mit uns diese Zeit, if God were not with us at this time, Wir hätten müssen verzagen, we would have had to lose heart Die so ein armes Häuflein sind, since we are such a poor little flock Veracht' von so viel Menschenkind, despised by so much of mankind, Die an uns setzen alle. Who all set themselves against us. |

Gott Lob und Dank, der nicht zugab, Dass ihr Schlund uns möcht fangen. That their throats should seize us. Wie ein Vogel des Stricks kömmt ab, As a bird escapes from the snare Ist unsre Seel entgangen: our soul has got away Strick ist entzwei, und wir sind frei; The snare is torn in two and we are free Des Herren Name steht uns bei, The Name of the Lord stands by us Des Gottes Himmels und Erden. of the God of heaven and earth. |
