German:
Meinen Jesum laß' ich nicht.
Weil er sich für mich gegeben,
So erfordert meine Pflicht,
Klettenweis' an ihm zu kleben;
Er ist meines Lebens Licht;
Meinen Jesum laß' ich nicht.
--Christian Keimann, 1658
English:
This my Jesus I'll not leave,
Since his life for me he offered;
Thus by duty I am bound
Limpet-like to him forever.
He is light unto my life,
This my Jesus I'll not leave.
