Dem dunkeln Schoß der heilgen Erde Vertrauen wir der Hände Tat Vertraut der Sämann seine Saat Und hofft, daß sie entkeimen werde Zum Segen, nach des Himmels Rat. Noch köstlicheren Samen bergen Wir trauernd in der Erde Schoß, Und hoffen, dass er aus den Särgen Erblühen soll zu schönerm Los.

De donk're schoot der heil'ge aarde Vertrouwen toe wij d' arbeidsdaad Vertrouwt de zaaier toe het zaad, En hoopt dat het ontkiemt tot waarde, Tot zegen, naar des hemels raad. Nog waardevoller zaaigoed bergen Wij treurend nu in aardes schoot, En hopen dat het uit de zerken Ontluiken zal in schoonheid groot.
