Über den Sternen ist Ruh
Language: German (Deutsch)
Über den Sternen ist Ruh'! Dulde, o dulde hienieden, wenn dir zu leiden beschieden; dorten in ewigem Frieden lachet nur Wonne dir zu. Was dich hienieden getroffen, o welch ein seliges Hoffen: Über den Sternen ist Ruh'! Über den Sternen ist Ruh'! Dulde, o dulde aufs Neue, dorten in ewiger Bläue wohnet nicht Kummer, nicht Reue, dorten genesest auch du! Was dir die Wunden geschlagen, musst es geduldig ertragen: Über den Sternen ist Ruh'!

Over the stars is your rest!
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Over the stars is your rest! Hopefully dream in thy sorrow, Cheerfully waiting the morrow, Patiently learning to borrow Peace from the promise so blest. Wait, tho' no comfort be near thee, Hope, with her whisper, may cheer thee; Over the stars is your rest! Over the stars is your rest! Fear not the world so unfeeling, Secretly sorrow concealing, Thrust thee to heaven when kneeling, Knowing thou yet may be blest. Shadows of gloom may distress thee, Yet there is One who will bless thee; Over the stars is your rest!
