Original text and translations
German text
(Paul Speratus 1523)
Es ist das Heil uns kommen her von Gnad und lauter Güte;
die Werke helfen nimmermehr, sie mögen nicht behüten.
Der Glaub sieht Jesum Christum an; der hat g’nug für uns all getan,
er ist der Mittler worden.
English translation
Now unto us Salvation comes, by grace and purest favor;
our works, they offer help no more: they cannot give protection.
But faith shall Jesus Christ behold; who for us all enough hath done:
He is our Intercessor!
