Chorale Text
German:

Ich dank' dir, lieber Herre
Dass du mich hast bewahrt
In dieser Nacht Gefähre,
Darin ich lag so hart
Mit Finsterniss umfangen,
Dazu in grosser Noth,
Daraus ich bin entgangen,
Halfst du mir Herre Gott!

English:

I thank you, dear Lord
that you have guarded me
this dangerus night
in it I lay so hard
clasped in darkness
and great need,
from which I have escaped,
You helped me Lord God!
--Composite
