Christenkinder, freuet euch! |
Christian children, rejoice! |
Wütet schon das Höllenreich, |
Though the kingdom of Hell rages, |
Will euch Satans Grimm erschrecken: |
and Satan’s fury would terrify you: |
Jesus, der erretten kann, |
Jesus, who can save, |
Nimmt sich seiner Küchlein an |
takes to Himself His little chicks |
Und will sie mit Flügeln decken. |
and will cover them with His wings. |
