Albert Zeller (1804 - 1877)
Gebrochen ist der Sturm
Language: German (Deutsch)
Gebrochen ist der Sturm,
Und mit dem Sturm [mein]1 Herz:
Ich stand so stark in dir
Im ungeheuren Schmerz.
Der Sturm der Zeitlichkeit
Währt eine kurze Weil,
Und führt das Glaubensschiff
Zum Ziel in [größter]2 Eil.
Das Meer [ist]3 hinter mir, --
Ich steig ans Rettungsland;
Du aber grüßest mich
Und nimmst mich bei der Hand.

The storm has broken
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The storm has broken,
And with the storm my heart:
I was so strong in Thee
In the immense pain.
The storm of temporality
Lasts a short while,
And leads the ship of faith
To the goal in [greatest]1 haste.
The sea [is]2 behind me,--
I step onto the land of salvation
Thou, however, greetest me
And takest me by the hand.
