Das alte Jahr vergangen ist:
Wir danken dir, Herr Jesu Christ,
Dass du uns in so gross Gefahr
Bewahrt hast lange Zeit und Jahr.
The old year hath passed away
For this we thank you Lord today
That thou has kept us through the year
When danger and distress were near.
from notes by Angela Hewitt © 2001
La vieille année s’en est allée
Nous te remercions Seigneur Jésus-Christ,
De ce que, dans un si grand danger,
Tu nous as protégés un si long temps et une si longue année.
