Now Drive We Out the Pope and purge
The house of God and Christian Church
Where murd'rously he once held sway
And countless souls seduced astray

Thou condemnation's son begone!
Thou crimson bride of Babylon,
Abomination, Antichrist,
All full of lies, blood, craft and vice!

Indulgences, decretals, bulls,
Now sealed up, cannot harm our souls:
With them didst thou rob every good,
And thereby scandalize Christ blood.

Rome's false god now is off his throne,
The true Pope now in faith we own:
It is God's Son and Christ our Rock
On which is built His Church and flock.

He is our High and gracious Priest;
Upon the Cross, our offered feast,
He for our sin poured out his blood,
Indulgence true from wounding flowed.

He leads the Church by His true Word
The Father's pow'r on Him conferred;
The Churches, head and king is He:
To Him be praise eternally.

Consoling Spring is now at hand,
Christ, fill with peace Thy Christendom,
Give us, Oh Lord, a blessed year,
From Pope and Turk shield us ever.
