3. O Tod, wie bitter bist du

O Tod,  O Tod, wie bitter bist du,
wenn an dich gedenket ein Mensch,
Der gute Tage und genug hat
Und ohne Sorge lebet;
Und dem es wohl geht in allen Dingen
Und noch wohl essen mag!
O Tod, O tod, wie bitter bist du.
O Tod, O Tod, wie wohl tust du dem
Dürftigen,
Der da schwach und alt ist,
Der in allen Sorgen steckt,
Und nichts Bessers zu hoffen,
Noch zu erwarten hat!
O Tod, O Tod, wie wohl tust du!

3. O, death, how bitter are you,

O, death, O, death, how bitter you are,
in the thoughts of a a man
who has good days, enough
and a sorrow-free life
and who is fortunate in all things,
and still pleased to eat well!
O, death, O, death, how bitter you are,
O death, O death, how well you serve him who
is in need
Who is feeble and old,
and is beset by all sorrows,
and has nothing better to hope for
or to expect;
O death,, O death, how well you serve.
