German text Du Friedefürst, Herr Jesu Christ, Wahr' Mensch und wahrer Gott, Ein starker Nothelfer du bist Im Leben und im Tod. Drum wir allein Im Namen dein Zu deinem Vater schreien. Recht große Not uns stößet an von Krieg und Ungemach, daraus uns niemand helfen kann denn du, drum führ die Sach. Den Vater bitt, daß er ja nit im Zorn mit uns verfahre. Gedenk, Herr, jetzt an dein Amt, daß du ein Friedfürst bist, und hilf uns gnädig allesamt jetzt und zu aller Frist. Laß uns hinfort dein gnädig Wort im Fried noch länger schallen.

English translation You prince of peace, Lord Jesus Christ, true man and true God, you are a strong helper in distress, in life and death. Therefore we only in your name cry to your Father! Really great distress presses on us because of war and hardship, in this situation no one can help us but you; therefore guide our affairs. Ask your Father that he may not wish to deal with us in anger! Be mindful, Lord, now of your office, that you are a prince of peace, and graciously help us in all ways now at this time. Grant that henceforth your divine word may resound still longer in peace!
