Gebrochen ist der Sturm
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Gebrochen ist der Sturm,
Und mit dem Sturm mein 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 Eil.
Das Meer ist 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 haste.
The sea is behind me,--
I step onto the land of salvation
Thou, however, greetest me
And takest me by the hand.
