Dein Segen zu uns wende,
Gib Fried an allem Ende;
Gib unverfälscht im Lande
Dein seligmachend Wort.
Die Heuchler mach zuschanden
Hier und an allem Ort.
[Turn Your blessing upon us,
Give peace to every outcome,
Grant, uncorrupted, to our land,
Your sanctifying word.
Put the hypocrite to shame
Here and in every place!]
