German:
Wo soll ich fliehen hin,
Weil ich beschweret bin
Mit viel und grossen Sünden?
Wo kann ich Rettung finden?
Wenn alle Welt herkäme,
Mein Angst sie niht wegnähme.
--Johann Heermann, 1630
English:
O wither shall I fly,
Depressed with misery?
Who is it that can ease me,
And from my sins release me?
Sin's load remains unmoved.
--Moravian Hymn Book, 1754
