1 |
Ich armer Mensch, ich armer Sünder, |
I, poor man, I, poor sinner, |
|||||||||
|
2 |
Wie ist mir doch so herzlich bange, |
Since I am so sincerely fearful |
|||||||||
|
3 |
Hör und erhör mein seufzend Schreyen, |
Hear and hearken to my sighing cry, |
|||||||||
|
4 |
Wie lang soll ich vergeblich klagen ? |
How long must I lament in vain? |
|||||||||
|
5 |
Wahr ist es, übel steht der Schade, |
Truly I am in evil plight |
|||||||||
|
6 |
Nicht, wie ich hab verschuldet, lohne, |
Do not reward me as I have earned by wrongdoing, |
|||||||||
|
7 |
Sprich nur ein Wort, so werd ich leben, |
Speak only one word , and I shall live, |
|||||||||
|
8 |
Ich zweifle nicht, ich bin erhöret ; |
I have no doubt, my prayer is heard; |
|||||||||
