by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Glücklich, wer auf Gott vertraut
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Glücklich, wer auf Gott vertraut
Und bei trüben Tagen
In die fernste Zukunft schaut
Sonder Angst und Zagen.

Nichts hat in der Welt Bestand:
Was da kommt, muß scheiden,
Und so reichen sich die Hand
Immer Freud' und Leiden.

Hat der Himmel Müh' und Schmerz
Dir einmal beschieden -
Sei getrost! ein jedes Herz
Findet seinen Frieden.
