Wo Gott zum Haus nicht gibt sein' Gunst
So arbeit' jeder Mann umsonst:
Wo Gott die Stadt nicht selbst bewacht,
Da ist umsonst der Wächter Macht.
--Jos. Klug Gesangbuch 1535

Where God does not give favor to the house,
All who work there work in vain;
Where God doesn't guard the city,
They who guard it are powerless.
