German.png German text

Ewigkeit ist ein Zeit ohn End,
o Menschenkind, tu Achtung darauf geben.
Nicht lebet so in Sicherheit, tut Buß beizeit
und bessert euer Leben.
Der Mensch hat hie kein bleibend Stätt,
wir müssen alle sterben,
von diesem Leben Rechenschaft geben,
Freud oder Leid ewiglich erben.

English.png English translation

Eternity is a time without end,
o mankind’s child, pay attention to it.
Don’t feel living in security, repent betimes
and reform your life.
Man has no permanent dwelling here,
we all must die,
give account of this life,
inherit joy or sorrow forever.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt
