German.png German text

Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig
ist der Menschen Leben!
Wie ein Nebel bald entstehet
und auch wieder bald vergehet
so ist unser Leben sehet.

Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig
sind der Menschen Sachen!
Alles, alles was wir sehen,
das muss fallen und vergehen;
wer Gott fürcht‘t, wird ewig stehen.
