In Stunden der Entmutigung, wenns gar zu trübe geht, gibt Trost mir und Ermutigung ein wundersüß Gebet. Sein heilig Wort so weihevoll, so voll von Leben tönt; es fühlt mein Herz sich reuevoll, beseligt und versöhnt. Aus meiner Brust der Zweifel scheu, wie eine Last entweicht. Ich wein aufs Neu, ich glaub aufs Neu, mir wird so leicht, so leicht.

Nelle ore di sconforto, quando tutto va male, mi consola e mi incoraggia una dolcissima preghiera. La sua sacra parola così devota, così piena di vita risuona; il mio cuore si sente pentito, consolato e riconciliato. Dal mio petto il dubbio timido, come un peso se ne va. Io piango di nuovo, io credo di nuovo E mi sento leggero, leggero.
