Original text and translations

German text

Wer bin ich? welche wicht'ge Frage!
Gott, lehre mich, sie recht verstehn.
Gib dass ich mir die Wahrheit sage,
um mich, so wie ich bin, zu sehn.
Wer sich nicht selbst recht kennen lernt,
bleibt von der Weisheit weit entfernt.

English translation

Who am I? An important question!
God, teach me to understand aright.
Grant that I may speak truth
and see myself as I am.
Who learns not to know himself
remains far away from wisdom.
