Drum folget Gott und seinem Triebe. |
Therefore follow God and His promptings. |
Das ist die rechte Bahn. |
That is the right path. |
Die führet durch Gefahr |
It leads through danger |
Auch endlich in das Kanaan |
at last into Canaan |
Und durch von ihm geprüfte Liebe |
and through love, tested by Him, |
Auch an sein heiliges Altar |
also to his holy altar |
Und bindet Herz und Herz zusammen, |
and binds heart together with heart. |
Herr! Sei du selbst mit diesen Flammen! |
Lord! Be You Yourself among these flames! |
