Chorale Text
German:

Straf mich nicht in deinem Zorn
Grosser Gott, verschone;
Ach lass mich nicht sein verlorn,
Nach Verdienst nicht lohise.
Hat die Sünd dich entzündt.
Lass um Christi willen
Deinen Zorn sich stillen.
--Johann G Albinus - 1655

English:

Not in anger smite us, Lord,
Spare Thy people, spare!
If Thou mete us due reward
We must all despair.
Let the flood
Of Jesus' blood
Quench the flaming of Thy wrath,
That our sin enkindled hath.
--trans. by Catherine Winkworth, 1855
