Komm, Trost der Welt, du stille Nacht! Wie steigst du von den Bergen sacht, Die Lüfte alle schlafen, Ein Schiffer nur noch, wandermüd', Singt übers Meer sein Abendlied Zu Gottes Lob im Hafen. Die Jahre wie die Wolken gehn Und lassen mich hier einsam stehn, Die Welt hat mich vergessen, Da tratst du wunderbar zu mir, Wenn ich beim Waldesrauschen hier Gedankenvoll gesessen. O Trost der Welt, du stille Nacht! Der Tag hat mich so trüb gemacht, Das weite Meer schon dunkelt, Laß ausruhn mich von Lust und Not, Bis daß das ew'ge Morgenrot Den stillen Wald durchfunkelt.

Viens, consolation du monde, toi silencieuse nuit ! Alors que tu montes doucement des montagnes, Toutes les brises sont endormies, Seul encore un marin, fatigué du voyage, Lance au-dessus de la mer son chant vespéral À la louange de dieu, depuis le port. Les années passent comme les nuages Et me laissent ici solitaire, Le monde m'a oublié, C'est alors que, merveilleuse tu vins vers moi Quand j'étais ici, dans le murmure de la forêt, Assis et perdu dans mes pensées. Ô consolation du monde, toi silencieuse nuit ! Le jour m'a tant troublé, La mer immense déjà s'assombrit, Laisse‑moi me reposer du plaisir et de la misère Jusqu'à ce que l'aube éternelle Embrase la forêt silencieuse.
