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) |
