Wer Gott bekennt |
Whoever acknowledges God |
Aus wahrem Herzensgrund, |
from the true depths of his heart, |
Den will er auch bekennen. |
God will also acknowledge. |
Denn der muß ewig brennen, |
For he must burn forever, |
Der einzig mit dem Mund |
who only with his mouth |
Ihn Herren nennt. |
calls Him Lord. |
