Noch bist du mein! Mein erstes Wort am Morgen Muß stets dieß eine sein In Freuden wie in Sorgen; Und wenn zur Erde nieder Blitzt hell der Sternenschein, Vor'm Schlafen sag' ich's wieder: Dank Gott, noch bist du mein! Noch bist du mein! Noch darf an deinen Blicken Voll süßer Schmeichelein Ich fürder mich erquicken; Noch an dein Herz mich lehnen, Der treusten Liebe Schrein, Dir klagen all mein Sehnen, O Glück! noch bist du mein! Noch bist du mein! So lange Gott es füget, O du, mein Edelstein, Deß Leuchten nimmer trüget! Schick nur in Gottes Walten, Mein Lieb, dich frisch hinein, Es bleibt ja doch beim Alten -- Im Tod noch bist du mein!
F. Abt sets stanzas 1, 3

You are still mine! My first word in the morning Must ever be this one In joys as in cares; And when the radiance of the stars Sparkles brightly down to earth, I say it once more before falling asleep: Thank God, you are still mine! You are still mine! I am still able to refresh myself With your glances Full of sweet flatteries; Still able to lean upon your heart, The shrine of most faithful love, [Still able] to confess all my yearning to you, Oh joy! you are still mine! You are still mine! As long as God ordains it, Oh you, my precious jewel, Whose radiance never deceives! My love, only boldly give yourself Over to God's workings, For everything shall remain as it was -- Even in death you are still mine!
