German text

1 Herr Jesu Christ, wahr' Mensch und Gott,
Der du littst Marter, Angst und Spott,
Für mich am Kreuz auch endlich starbst
Und mir deins Vaters Huld erwarbst.

2 Ich bitt durchs bittre Leiden dein:
Du wollst mir Sünder gnädig sein,
wenn ich nun komm in Sterbens Not
und ringen werde mit dem Tod.
