Er hat sein Volk getröst’, |
He has comforted His people, |
Er hat sein Israel erlöst, |
He has rescued His Israel, |
Die Hülf aus Zion hergesendet |
sending help out of Zion |
Und unser Leid geendet. |
and ending our sorrow. |
Seht, Hirten, dies hat er getan; |
Look, shepherds, He has done this; |
Geht, dieses trefft ihr an! |
go, this is what awaits you! |
