German:
Jesu, meine Zuversicht
Und mein Heiland, ist im Leben.
Dieses weiss ich, sollt ich nicht
Darum mich zufrieden geben,
Was die lange Todesnacht
Mir auch für Gedanken macht?
--Anonymous, Berlin, 1653
English:
Jesus Christ, my sure Defence
And my Saviour, ever liveth;
Knowing this, my confidence
Rests upon the hope it giveth,
Though the night of death be fraught
Still with many an anxious thought.
