|
1 |
Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben? |
Dearest God, when shall I die? |
|||||||||
|
2 |
Ich zwar will mich auch nicht widern, |
Indeed I will not be bothered |
|||||||||
|
3 |
Aber Gott, was wird ich denken, |
But God,what shall I think |
|||||||||
|
4 |
Doch entweicht, ihr schnöden Sorgen, |
Yet disappear, you base anxieties, |
|||||||||
|
5 |
Herrscher über Tod und Leben, |
Lord over life and death |
|||||||||
