Wiobian retranslated English (literal)

ei Wiot', I ƕiens Beskäme guole
je Hüzze bückne gu mekern!
ƕind Ie bemizzem hel besruole.
gan ube, Swip, ƕind Ies deßɟer'm':
ƕiens Fröck' & Feil' mit
bar Hon-Snieks gnit
ƕind teipem spang ahn Pörzember'n.

O Heaven, Who bringest us strength
and ordainest triumph from far above,
We wait upon Thee with longing.
Thus now, O Lord, we entreat Thee:
Give us the means
So that we death unfearing
May break asunder those wooden idols.
