Wilt thou, O man, live happily, And dwell with God eternally, The ten commandments keep, for thus Our God himself biddeth us. Kyr' eleison! 2. I am the Lord and God! take heed No other god doth thee mislead; Thy heart shall trust alone in me, My kingdom then thou shalt be. Kyr' eleison! 3. Honor my name in word and deed, And call on me in time of need: Hallow the Sabbath, that I may Work in thy heart on that day. Kyr' eleison! 4. Obedient always, next to me, To father and to mother be; Kill no man: even anger dread; Keep sacred thy marriage-bed. Kyr' eleison! 5.

Mensch, willt du leben seliglich, Und bei Gott bleiben ewiglich, Sollt du halten die zehn Gebot, Die uns geben unser Gott. Kyrioleis! 2. Dein Gott allein und Herr bin ich, Kein ander Gott soll irren dich; Trauen soll mir das Herze dein, Mein eigen Reich sollt du sein. Kyrioleis! 3. Du sollt mein'n Namen ehren schon Und in der Noth mich rufen an, Du sollt heil'gen den Sabbath-Tag, Das ich in dir wirken mag. Kyrioleis! 4. Dem Vater und der Mutter dein Sollt du nach mir gehorsam sein; Niemand toedten noch zornig sein, Und deine Eh' halten rein. Kyrioleis! 5.
