Unser Schifflein treibt umher auf des Lebens weitem Meer, treibt nach einem fernen Strande; seine Segel schwellen auf, und es lenket seinen Lauf Sehnsucht nach dem Vaterlande. Ach, daheim, daheim, wie gern wären wir bei unserm Herrn, wo die Liebe nicht erkaltet, wo der Friede ewig währt und die Freude sich verklärt und die Jugend nimmer altet. Heisser flammt die Sehnsucht auf, schneller geht des Schiffleins Lauf, Well' um Welle fliegt vorüber. Aus den Fluten steight ein Stern; dorthin liegt das Reich des Herrn! Ach, hinüber, nur hinüber!

El nostre petit vaixell va a la deriva a l’extens mar de la vida, sura vers un llunyà ribatge; s’inflen les seves veles, i dirigeix la seva ruta ple d’enyor de la seva pàtria. Ai, a casa, a casa, com ens agradaria d’estar amb el nostre Senyor, on l’amor no s’enfreda, on la pau és eterna i la joia es transfigura i la joventut mai envelleix. Quan més ardent flameja l’anhel, el curs del vaixell va més de pressa, passa volant d’onada en onada. De les aigües s’enlaira una estrella; allà dalt hi ha el Regne del Senyor! Ai, cap aquell costat, just cap aquell costat!
