1 |
Es ist das Heil uns kommen her |
Salvation has come to us |
||||||||||
|
2 |
Was Gott im G'setz geboten hat, |
Since we could not keep |
||||||||||
|
3 |
Es war ein falscher Wahn dabei, |
It was a misleading delusion to think |
||||||||||
|
4 |
Nicht möglich war es, diese Art |
It was not possible to escape from |
||||||||||
|
5 |
Doch mußt' das G'setz erfüllet sein, |
Yet the law had to be fulfilled, |
||||||||||
|
6 |
Und wenn es nun erfüllet ist |
And since the law has now been fulfilled |
||||||||||
|
7 |
Daran ich keinen Zweifel trag', |
In this matter I have no doubt, |
||||||||||
|
8 |
Es ist gerecht vor Gott allein, |
Before God only that person is just |
||||||||||
|
9 |
Es wird die Sünd' durchs G'setz erkannt |
Sin is known through the law |
||||||||||
|
10 |
Die Werk', die kommen g'wisslich her |
Works surely come from a true faith. |
||||||||||
|
11 |
Die Hoffnung wart' der rechten Zeit, |
Hope waits for the right time |
||||||||||
|
12 |
Ob sichs anließ, als wollt er nicht, |
Although it seems that he is unwilling, |
||||||||||
|
13 |
Sei Lob und Ehr' mit hohem Preis |
May there be glory and honour with great praise |
||||||||||
|
14 |
sein Reich zukomm; sein Will auf Erd |
may His kingdom come; may his will be done on earth |
