Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir.
Out of the depths I cry to Thee,
Lord, hear me, I implore Thee!
Bend down Thy gracious ear to me,
Let my prayer come before Thee!
If Thou remember each misdeed,
If each should have its rightful meed,
Who may abide Thy presence.
Our pardon is Thy gift; Thy love
And grace alone avail us.
