Beschämt flieht Petrus, Jesu, deine Blicke. |
Ashamed, Peter flees your glance, Jesus. |
Die Furcht, doch nicht das Herz verleugnet dich. |
Fear, but not the heart, denies you. |
Er sieht mit tiefer Reu zurücke, |
He looks back with deep remorse, |
sein tränend Auge kennet dich. |
his tearful eye recognizes you. |
