Vil du hans Navn saa vidst? Han heder Jesus Krist, Den Høvding for Guds Hær, I ham kun Frelse er, Han Marken skal beholde. 3 Om Verden fuld af Djævle var, Der vilde os opsluge, Vi frygte ei, vi med os har Den Mand som den kan true; Er Verdens Fryste vred, Og vil os støde ned, Han ingen Ting formaar, Fordi alt dømt han gaar, Et Guds ord kan ham binde. 4 Det Ord de skal vel lade staa, Og Utak dertil have, Thi Gud han vil selv med os gaa Alt med sin Aand og Gave; Og tage de vort Liv, Gods, Ære, Børn og Viv, Lad fare hen, lad gaa! De kan ei mere faa, Guds Rige vi beholde.
