German:
Das alte Jahr vergangen ist,
das alle Jahr vergangen ist,
wir danken dir, Herr Jesu Christ,
dass du uns in so grosser G'fahr
so gnädiglich behüt dies Jahr,
so gnädiglich behüt dies Jahr,
English:
The old year now hath passed away,
The old year now hath passed away,
We thank Thee, O our God today
That Thou hast kept us through the year,
When danger and distress were near,
When danger and distress were near.
