Chorale Text
O Gott, du frommer Gott,
Du Brunnquell aller Gaben,
Ohn den nichts ist, was ist,
Von dem wir alles haben,
Gesunden Leib gib mir,
Und daß in solchem Leib
Ein unverletzte Seel
Und rein Gewissen bleib.

O God, thou righteous God,
Thou fountain of all blessings,
Without whom nought exists,
From whom is all our treasure,
My body grant good health,
And let within my flesh
An uncorrupted soul
And conscience pure e'er dwell.
--Translation by Z. Philip Ambrose (used by permission)
