|---|---|
Uns treffen zwar der Sünden Flecken, |
Indeed the stains of sin cling to us, |
So Adams Fall auf uns gebracht. |
as Adam’s fall brought upon us. |
Allein, wer sich zu / in / Jesu Wunden, |
But whoever has found himself |
Dem großem Strom voll Blut gefunden, |
in Jesus’ wounds, the mighty river of blood, |
Wird dadurch wieder rein gemacht. |
will through them be made pure again. |
