1. Awake, awake, O German land,
1. Awake, awake, O German land,
you've had enough of sleeping!
you've had enough of sleeping!
Bethink what God afforded you

and why you were created!
and why you were created!
Bethink what God has freely giv'n  
Recall what He has freely giv'n
into your trust, His solemn pledge!
into your trust, His solemn pledge!
For these you may well waken.
And then you may well waken.


2. God gave His Son, the Christ, to you,
2. God gave His Son, the Christ, to you,
the Way, the Truth, the Life,
the Way, the Truth, the Life,
His well-beloved Gospel, too;
His well-beloved Gospel, too;
Line 100: Line 96:
for Christ alone of mortal men
for Christ alone of mortal men
has paid the price of this world's sin,
has paid the price of this world's sin,
no act to that is equal.
a gift that has no equal.


3. For you should bear the best of fruit,
3. The best of fruit your life must bear,
and thus be deemed faithful,
and faithfulness isneeded,
belov'd and loyal, modest and chaste,
be loving loyal, modest, fair,
as you yourself would wish it;
treat as you your'd be treated;
cling ever to the fear of God
cling ever to the fear of God
and seek to honor Him alone
and seek to honor Him alone,
and far above all others.
to no man be a burden.


4. What formerly were wrongs and sins
4. What formerly were wrongs and sins
men now do praise as righteous,
men often praise as righteous,
what formerly were lead and tin
what formerly was lead or tin
men now call hard as iron:
is now called truly ferrous:
all things are now turned upside down,
all things are now turned upside down,
and wrong increases all around,
and wrong increases all around,
as many deeds are proving.
with deeds that are atrocious.


5. Now right and truth are overwhelmed
5. Now truth is overwhelmed with lies
and truth lacks willing hearers;
and facts ne'er get a hearing,
and lies are dressed in garments fine
while falsehoods now wear suits and ties
and oft with oaths assisted;
most often joined by swearing,
by these despised is God's true word,
and much despised is God's true word,
and truth insulted with a smirk,
the truth insulted with a smirk,
but lies are held in honor.
but lies are held in honor.


6. Our God gives warning ev'ry day,
6. Our God gives warning ev'ry day,
of which his signs bear witness,
to which his signs bear witness,
God's judgment waits outside the door;
His judgment waits outside the door.
O land, your sins rejecting,
O land, your sins rejecting,
make true repentance here and now,
make here and now repentance true,
while God His grace still offers you;
while God His grace still offers you,
His hand to you outreaching.
His hand in grace outreaching.


7. So help us, God, and all alike,
7. So help us, God, and all as one,
that we retreat from sinning,
that we retreat from sinning,
and us into His Kingdom lead,
and may we help Your Kingdom come
both sin and wrong abjuring.
and make a new beginning.
Lord Jesus Christ, bring help in time
Lord Jesus Christ, stay close to us
and grant to us the Spirit, Lord,
and by Your spirit strengthen us
that we may heed Thy warning.
that we may heed Your warning.}}

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)
