Ein Obdach gegen Sturm und Regen
  Der Winterzeit
Sucht' ich und fand den Himmelssegen
  Der Ewigkeit.
O Wort, wie du bewährt dich hast,
Wer wenig sucht, der findet viel.
Ich suchte eine Wanderrast
Und fand mein Reiseziel.

Ein gastlich Tor nur wünscht' ich offen,
  Mich zu empfah'n,
Ein liebend Herz ward wider Hoffen
  Mir aufgethan.
O Wort, wie du bewährt dich hast,
Wer wenig sucht, der findet viel,
Ich wollte sein ihr Wintergast
Und ward ihr Herzgespiel.

Un refugi contra tempestes i pluges

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Strauss)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Cercava un refugi contra tempestes i pluges
del temps d’hivern
i vaig trobar la benedicció del cel
de l’eternitat.
Oh paraula, com t’has adverat,
qui poc cerca, troba molt.
Cercava un descans per caminants
i vaig trobar el final del meu viatge.

Volia tan sols que s’obrís una porta hospitalària
per acollir-me,
inesperadament, un cor amant
s’obrí a mi.
Oh paraula, com t’has adverat,
qui poc cerca, troba molt.
Volia ser el seu hoste per l’hivern
i vaig esdevenir el company de jocs del seu cor.
