Uden Herren Opholder vort Hus og Gård [English translation]

Without the Lord maintaining our house and farm

And provide us with what is inside

And send us his mercy each year

That we must always find

His deity gifts, gives and loans

That he provides with his gentle hand

Or ells our work is betrothed

Without the lord himself that city keeps

And guard both land and empire

And with his deity's power defend

And so maintain them

Without God himself giving grace and peace

Then those watchmen watch over in vain

All art and counsel could fall
