Tilg, o Gott, die Lehren, |
O God, remove the teachings |
So dein Wort verkehren! |
that pervert your word! |
Wehre doch der Ketzerei |
Ward against heresy |
Und allen Rottengeistern; |
and all dissenting spirits; |
Denn sie sprechen ohne Scheu: |
for they say without any shame: |
Trotz dem, der uns will meistern! |
we defy Him who would govern us! |
