O was Greul finden wir, Heir in diesen gutn Zeit Ach was Geitz und Wucher hier, Mit grosser Unbarmherzigkeit, Und denket nichi and sein End.

Richt getreu is hoch zu preisen, Heuchelei ist Gott ein Greuel, Will man Gotter Kindlein heissen, So verscherze doch night dein Heil, Zur weigen Freude zu gehen ein.

O, we find such horror here, In these good times.

And what greed and jealousy, With great cruelty,

But they think not of their end.

True faith is worthy of praise, God does not like cheating,

If man wants to remain a child of God,

He must not throw out hie grace, To enter eternal joy.
