Choral. Sie stellen uns wie Ketzern nach
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Sie stellen uns wie Ketzern nach,
Nach unserm Blut sie trachten;
Noch rühmen sie sich Christen auch,
Die Gott allein groß achten.
Ach Gott, der teure Name dein
Muss ihrer Schalkheit Deckel sein,
Du wirst einmal aufwachen.

Chorus. They pursue us like heretics
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
They pursue us like heretics,
Longing after our blood;
They declare that they are also Christians,
That greatly respect God alone.
Ah God, your precious name
Must put a stopper on their villainy,
You will one day awaken.
