Zwingli's Kappelslied

Das Kappelslied………………………….……………………………….Huldrych Zwingli

Herr, nun heb den Wagen selb.                      Lord, hold now the wagon yourself,
Schelb wird sunst all unser Fart,                     Or it will roll from the straight path.
Das brächt Lust der Widerpart,                       That would please our enemies
Die Dich veracht so freventlich.                     Who dare to despise you.

Gott erhöh den Namen din                             O God, praise to your name
In der Straf der bösen Böck!                          And defend us from the enemy.
Dine Schaf wiederum erweck,                       Wake your sheep with your voice
Die dich liebhabend inniglich.                         For they love you dearly.

Hilf, daß alle Bitterkeit                                     Help us by letting all bitterness
Scheide fern, und alte Trüw                           Depart and let the old fidelity
Wiederkehr und werde nüw,                           Return and be renewed
Daß wir ewig lob singend dir!                          That we may eternally sing your praises!
