- Chorale Text
German:
Dies sind die heil'gen zehn Gebot',
Die uns gab unser Herre Gott
Durch Mose, seinen Dieneer treu,
Hoch auf dem Berg Sinai.
Kyrie eleis!
English:
These are the holy ten commands,
Which came to us from God's own hands
By Moses, who obeyed His will.
Standing upon Sinai's hill.
Have mercy, Lord!
--Tr. George MacDonald
