Entzetze dich, mein Herze, nicht, |
Do not recoil, my heart, |
Gott ist dein Trost und Zuversicht |
God is your comfort and confidence |
Und deiner Seele Leben. |
and the life of your soul. |
Ja was sein wieser Rat bedacht, |
Indeed, what His wise counsel has considered, |
Dem kann die Welt und Menschenmacht |
the power of the world and humanity |
Unmöglich widerstreben. |
cannot possibly resist. |
(“Was mein Gott will, das g’scheh allzeit,” verse 2) |
