by Peter Cornelius (1824 - 1874)

Dein Wille geschehe
 (Sung text for setting by P. Cornelius)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Segne, Herz, den Freudentag,
Den der Herr Dir spende,
Daß er's fröhlich wende,
Dank' ohn' Ende
Jubelnd ihm Dein Schlag.

Aber Heil der Schmerzensnacht!
Traue Gottes Wegen,
Da Du wach gelegen,
Hat sein Segen
Treu mit Dir gewacht.

Folgt auch, wie die Nacht dem Tag,
Dir auf Wonne Leiden,
Der da schuf die beiden,
Wird entscheiden,
Wie Dir's frommen mag.
