Original text and translations
The original German text is from a hymn book from Münster (Germany) from 1677. The English translation of stanzas 1-4 is by Josaph A. Seiss form 1873. The English translation of stanza 5 is by Christoph Dalitz, because Seiss had dropped this stanza, which refers to 1 Cor 11, 23-25.
