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.

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.
