Text: Wir thoren und träges Herzens

Andreas Raselius (c.1563–1602)

Original Text English Translation
 
Wir thoren und träges Herzens,
zu glauben alle dem,
das die Propheten geredet haben!
Mußte nicht Christus solches leiden
und zu seiner Herrlichkeit eingehen?
O foolish men,
and slow of heart to believe all
that the prophets have spoken!
Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?
