Gottes ist der Orient!
Gottes ist der Okzident!
Nord und südliches Gelände
Ruht im Frieden seiner Hände.

Er, der einzige Gerechte,
Will für jedermann das Rechte.
Sei von seinen hundert Namen
Dieser hochgelobet! Amen.

Mich verwirren will das Irren;
Doch du weißt mich zu entwirren,
Wenn ich handle, wenn ich dichte,
Gib du meinem Weg die Richte!

Talismannen

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

God behoort de Oriënt!
God behoort de Occident!
Noord- en zuidelijke landen
Rusten vredig in zijn handen.

Hij, de enige gerechte,
Wil voor iedereen het rechte.
Zij van al zijn honderd namen
Deze hooggeprezen! Amen.

Mij doen malen wil het dwalen,
Maar gij weet mij terug te halen.
Bij mijn hand'len, bij mijn dichten,
O gij, wil mijn wegen richten!
