English:
Rock of Ages let our song,
Praise thy saving power;
Thou amidst the raging foes,
Wast our sheltering tower.

    Furiously they assailed us,
    But Thine arm availed us
    And Thy word broke their sword,
    When our own strength failed us.
    And Thy word broke their sword,
    When our own strength failed us.
