Wem Gott will rechte Gunst erweisen
 (Sung text for setting by F. Fröhlich)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Wem Gott will rechte Gunst erweisen,
Den schickt er in die weite Welt,
Dem will er seine Wunder weisen
In Berg und Wald und Strom und Feld.

 ... 

Die Bächlein von den Bergen springen,
Die Lerchen schwirren hoch vor Lust,
Was sollt' ich nicht mit ihnen singen
Aus voller Kehl' und frischer Brust?

Den lieben Gott nur laß' ich walten;
Der Bächlein, Lerchen, Wald und Feld,
Und Erd' und Himmel will erhalten,
Hat auch mein Sach' aufs Best' bestellt.
