Original text and translations

English text 1. My soul, survey the important cause For which the world was made; With joy revere God's sacred laws, Which ought to be obeyed. His first command to simple men Is to believe his Son; To seek a pardon for their sins Before his gracious throne.

2.This is the most important thing Which mortals can pursue; Present and future joys on high, Complete and ever new. This ne thing needful stands impressed On us by Christ's command: He bids us choose eternal bliss Above, at his right hand.
