Original text and translations

German text Deines Kinds Gebet erhöre, Vater, schau auf mich herab; meinen Augen Licht gewähre, rette mich aus dunklem Grab. Sonst verlacht der Feind mich Armen, triumphiert in stolzer Pracht; sonst verfolgt er ohn' Erbarmen und verspottet deine Macht.

English translation Hear your child’s prayer, Father, turn your eyes to me; grant light to my eyes, save me from the dark grave; lest the fiend should laugh at my poor soul, triumphing in proud splendor; lest he should persecute me without mercy, laughing your power to scorn.
