|---|---|
So weiß der Herr die Seinen |
Thus the Lord knows |
aus der Zerstreuung zu vereinen, |
to bring together his own out of dispersal, |
im Kummer zu erfreun. |
to bring joy in grief. |
Wenn mich die Feinde hassen, |
If my enemies hate me, |
die Freunde mich verlassen, |
my friends abandon me, |
will ich mich dennoch fassen. |
yet will I remain serene. |
Mein Heiland lebt, und ich bin sein. |
My Savior lives, and I am His. |
