1. *Ach, arme Welt, du trügest mich,
ja, das bekenn’ ich eigentlich,
und kann dich doch nicht meiden.
2. Du falsche Welt, du bist nicht wahr,
dein Schein vergeht, das weiß ich zwar,
mit Weh’ und großem Leiden.
3. Dein’ Ehr’, dein Gut, du arme Welt,
im Tod, in rechten Nöten fehlt,
dein Schatz ist eitel falsches Geld,
dess hilf mir, Herr, zum Frieden.		 1. You, poor world, delude me,
yes, I confess,
I still cannot deny you.
2. You false world, with grief and sorrow I know you are not true. Your glories fade with great woe and suffering.
3. Your honour, goodness, you poor world; in death, in dire distress, are nothing; your treasure vain and falsely wrought. Lord, give me peace eternal.
