Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
Die schäumenden Wellen von Belials Bächen Verdoppeln die Wut. Ein Christ soll zwar wie Wellen stehn, Wenn Trübsalswinde um ihn gehn, Doch suchet die stürmende Flut Die Kräfte des Glaubens zu schwächen.

The white‑foaming billows of Belial's torrents
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The white-foaming billows of Belial's torrents Redouble their rage. A Christian must with firmness stand When fierce the winds of trouble blow, While floods in their fury attempt The forces of faith to enfeeble.
