1. Wach' auf, wach' auf, du deutsches Land, | |||
du hast genug geschlafen! | |||
Bedenk', was Gott an dich gewandt, | |||
wozu er dich erschaffen! | |||
Bedenk', was Gott dir hat gesandt | |||
und dir vertraut, sein höchstes Pfand! | |||
Drum magst du wohl aufwachen! | |||
2. Gott hat dir Christum seinen Sohn, | |||
die Wahrheit und das Leben, | |||
sein liebes Evangelion | |||
aus lauter Gnad' gegeben: | |||
denn Christus ist allein der Mann, | |||
der für der Welt Sünd' g'nug getan, | |||
kein Werk hilft sonst daneben. | |||
3. Du solltest bringen gute Frucht, | |||
so du recht gläubig wärest, | |||
in Lieb und Treu, in Scham und Zucht, | |||
wie du solch's selbst begehrest, | |||
in Gottes Furcht dich halten fein | |||
und suchen Gottes Ehr' allein, | |||
daß du niemand beschwerest. | |||
4. Was vormals Unrecht, Sünd und Schand, | |||
das tut man jetzt gut preisen, | |||
was vormals Blei und Zinn genannt, | |||
das heißt man jetzt hart' Eisen: | |||
all' Ding' han sich so gar verkehrt, | |||
Unrecht hat sich so hoch gemehrt, | |||
solch's tut die Tat erweisen. | |||
5. Die Wahrheit wird jetzt unterdrückt, | |||
will niemand Wahrheit hören; | |||
die Lüge wird gar fein geschmückt, | |||
man hilft ihr oft mit Schwören; | |||
dadurch wird Gottes Word veracht't, | |||
die Wahrheit höhnisch auch verlacht, | |||
die Lüge tut man ehren. | |||
6. Gott warnet täglich für und für, | |||
das zeugen seine Zeichen, | |||
denn Gottes straf' ist vor der Tür'; | |||
Deutschland, laß dich erweichen, | |||
tu rechte Buße in der Zeit, | |||
weil Gott dir noch sein' Gnad' anbeut | |||
und tut sein' Hand dir reichen. | |||
7. Das helfe Gott uns allen gleich, | |||
daß wir von Sünden lassen, | |||
und führe uns zu seinem Reich, | |||
daß wir das Unrecht hassen. | |||
Herr Jesu Christe, hilf uns nu' | |||
und gib uns deinen Geist dazu, | |||
daß wir dein' Warnung fassen. | |||
(Johann Walter, 1561)}} | |||

1. Awake, awake, O German land, | |||
you've had enough of sleeping! | |||
Bethink what God afforded you | |||
and why you were created! | |||
Bethink what God has freely giv'n | |||
into your trust, His solemn pledge! | |||
For these you may well waken. | |||
2. God gave His Son, the Christ, to you, | |||
the Way, the Truth, the Life, | |||
His well-beloved Gospel, too; | |||
all by His grace were given: | |||
for Christ alone of mortal men | |||
has paid the price of this world's sin, | |||
no act to that is equal. | |||
3. For you should bear the best of fruit, | |||
and thus be deemed faithful, | |||
belov'd and loyal, modest and chaste, | |||
as you yourself would wish it; | |||
cling ever to the fear of God | |||
and seek to honor Him alone | |||
and far above all others. | |||
4. What formerly were wrongs and sins | |||
men now do praise as righteous, | |||
what formerly were lead and tin | |||
men now call hard as iron: | |||
all things are now turned upside down, | |||
and wrong increases all around, | |||
as many deeds are proving. | |||
5. Now right and truth are overwhelmed | |||
and truth lacks willing hearers; | |||
and lies are dressed in garments fine | |||
and oft with oaths assisted; | |||
by these despised is God's true word, | |||
and truth insulted with a smirk, | |||
but lies are held in honor. | |||
6. Our God gives warning ev'ry day, | |||
of which his signs bear witness, | |||
God's judgment waits outside the door; | |||
O land, your sins rejecting, | |||
make true repentance here and now, | |||
while God His grace still offers you; | |||
His hand to you outreaching. | |||
7. So help us, God, and all alike, | |||
that we retreat from sinning, | |||
and us into His Kingdom lead, | |||
both sin and wrong abjuring. | |||
Lord Jesus Christ, bring help in time | |||
and grant to us the Spirit, Lord, | |||
that we may heed Thy warning.}} | |||
