Du wahrer Gott und Davids Sohn, |
You true God and Son of David, |
Der du von Ewigkeit in der Entfernung schon |
who already from distant eternity |
Mein Herzeleid und meine Leibespein |
have looked upon my heartache |
Umständlich angesehn, erbarm dich mein! |
and the pain of my body, have mercy on me! |
Und laß durch deine Wunderhand, |
And grant through Your wondrous hand, |
Die so viel Böses abgewandt, |
that has turned aside so much evil, |
Mir gleichfalls Hilf und Trost geschehen. |
that aid and comfort occur for me as well. |
