Es kömmt ein Tag, |
A day will come, |
So das Verborgne richtet, |
when the Hidden One will judge, |
Vor dem die Heuchelei erzittern mag. |
before which hypocrisy may well tremble. |
Denn seines Eifers Grimm vernichtet, |
For the wrath of His vengeance will annihilate |
Was Heuchelei und List erdichtet. |
what hypocrisy and deceit fashion. |
