|---|---|
So geh ich mit geherzten Schritten, |
Thus I walk with encouraged steps, |
Auch wenn mich Gott zum Grabe führt. |
even when God leads me to my grave. |
Gott hat die Tage aufgeschrieben, |
God has circumscribed my days, |
So wird, wenn seine Hand mich rührt, |
thus, when His hand touches me, |
Des Todes Bitterkeit vertrieben. |
He will drive away the bitterness of death. |
