Merke, mein Herze, beständig nur dies, |
Take note, my heart, of this alone continually, |
Wenn du alles sonst vergißt, |
even if you forget everything else, |
Daß dein Heiland lebend ist; |
that your Savior is living; |
Lasse dieses deinem Gläuben |
let this remain for your faith |
Einen Grund und Feste bleiben, |
a foundation and bedrock, |
Auf solche besteht er gewiß. |
upon which it can certainly endure. |
Merke, meine Herze, nur dies. |
Take note, my heart, of this alone. |
