Dies hat er alles uns getan, | All this He has done for us, |
Sein groß Lieb zu zeigen an; | to indicate His great love; |
Des freu sich alle Christenheit | for this all Christianity rejoices |
Und dank ihm des in Ewigkeit. | and thanks Him for it in eternity. |
Kyrieleis! | Kyrie eleison! |
(“Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ,” verse 7) |
