Gott, bei deinem starken Schützen |
God, through your strong defense |
Sind wir von den Feinden frei. |
We are free of the enemies. |
Wenn sie sich als wilde Wellen |
When they set themselves against us |
Uns aus Grimm entgegenstellen, |
Out of fury like wild waves, |
Stehn uns deine Hände bei. |
Your hands help us through. |
