|---|---|
Ich will doch wohl Rosen brechen, |
I will yet indeed pluck roses, |
Wenn mich gleich die Dornen stechen. |
even if they prick me with thorns. |
Denn ich bin der Zuversicht, |
For I have confidence |
Daß mein Bitten und mein Flehen |
That my prayers and my pleading |
Gott gewiß zu Herzen gehen, |
go straight to the heart of God, |
weil es mir sein Wort verspricht. |
because he gave me His word. |
