Seite 358 - Werd ich beruhigt je mich auf ein Faulbett legen, So sei es gleich um mich getan! Kannst du mich schmeichelnd je belügen, Daß ich mir selbst gefallen mag, Kannst du mich mit Genuß betrügen, Das sei für mich der letzte Tag! Die Wette biet ich!
Seite 155 - With force of arms we nothing can, Full soon were we down-ridden; But for us fights the proper Man, Whom God himself hath bidden. Ask ye, Who is this same ? Christ Jesus is his name, The Lord Zebaoth's Son, He and no other one Shall conquer in the battle.
