So sei nun, Seele, deine |
So be now, soul, yours, |
Und traue dem alleine, |
And trust only in the one |
Der dich erschaffen hat; |
Who has created you. |
Es gehe, wie es gehe, |
Let things be, as they may; |
Dein Vater in der Höhe, |
Your father on high, |
Der weiss zu allen Sachen Rat. |
He knows counsel in all matters. |
