Ich liebe dich, so wie du mich,
Am Abend und am Morgen,
Noch war kein Tag, wo du und ich
Nicht teilten unsre Sorgen.

Auch waren sie für dich und mich
Geteilt leicht zu ertragen;
Du tröstetest im Kummer mich,
Ich weint in deine Klagen.

Drum Gottes Segen über dir,
Du, meines Lebens Freude.
Gott schütze dich, erhalt dich mir,
Schütz und erhalt uns beide.

My love for thee and thine for me
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
My love for thee and thine for me
Endure beyond impairing;
There never comes a day but we
Each other's cares are sharing.

But cares imparted seem to be
The lighter for the sharing;
In sorrow thou dost turn to me,
I bear what thou art bearing.

Then God a blessing give to thee
More full than I can measure;
Defend and keep thee long for me
To be my joy and treasure.
