Hier, in meines Vaters Stätte |
Here, in [God] my father’s [dwelling] place, |
Findt mich ein betrübter Geist. |
Will a grieved spirit find me. |
Da kannst du mich sicher finden |
You can assuredly find me there |
Und dein Herz mit mir verbinden, |
And bind your heart with me, |
Weil dies meine Wohnung heisst. |
Because this [place] is called my dwelling. |
