Ach, unser Wille bleibt verkehrt, |
Ah, our will remains perverted, |
Bald trotzig, bald verzagt, |
quickly contrary, quickly dashed, |
Des Sterbens will er nie gedenken; |

but a Christian, educated in God’s spirit, |
Lernt sich in Gottes Willen senken |
teaches itself to sink into God’s will |
Und sagt: |
and says: |
