Herr Christ, der einge Gottessohn, |
Lord Christ, only Son of God, |
Vaters in Ewigkeit, |
of the Father in eternity, |
Aus seinem Herzn entsprossen, |
sprung forth out of His heart, |
Gleichwie geschrieben steht, |
just as it is written, |
Er ist der Morgensterne, |
He is the morning star, |
Sein’ Glanz steckt er so ferne |
His gaze extends far and wide |
Für andern Sternen klar. |
and is more brilliant than other stars. |
