Alles macht die Liebe leicht, Wenn nur sie uns nie entweicht! Lächelnd gibt sie Gut und Blut, Und den allerfrohsten Muth Hat sie in den schwersten Tagen, Lächelnd kann sie Alles tragen: Alles, Alles macht sie leicht, Wenn nur sie uns nie entweicht! Alles macht die Liebe hold, Mehr als Edelstein und Gold! O wie strahlt in ihrem Licht, Liebste, hell dein Angesicht, Und wie füllt das Haus ihr Schimmer, Daß der Frühling scheidet nimmer: Alles, Alles macht sie hold, Mehr als Edelstein und Gold! Alles macht die Liebe gut, Wenn nur sie im Herzen ruht! Freudig deckt sie jede Schuld, Und wird reicher nur an Huld; Und wenn sie kann heilen, trösten, Da wird ihre Lust am größten: Alles, Alles macht sie gut, Wenn nur sie im Herzen ruht! Alles macht die Liebe süß Durch ein einziges Gottgrüß! Freud' und Lust wird jede Last, Jedes Werk zur frohen Rast; Mag's durch Noth und Tod auch gehen, Liebe, Liebe muß bestehen: Alles, Alles macht sie süß Durch ein einziges Gottgrüß!

Love makes everything easy If it only never escapes us! Smilingly it gives goods and blood, And even in the most difficult days It has the happiest of spirits , Smilingly it can bear everything: [Love] makes everything, everything easy If it only never escapes us! Love makes everything fair, More than precious jewels and gold! Oh, how your face, beloved, Beams brightly in its light, And how does its shimmer fill the house So that springtime never departs: [Love] makes everything, everything fair More than precious jewels and gold! Love atones for everything If it only rests in our hearts! It joyfully covers every fault And only becomes richer in benevolence; And when it can heal, comfort, Then its joy becomes greatest: [Love] atones for everything, everything If it only rests in our hearts! Love makes everything sweet Through a single greeting! Every burden becomes joy and and bliss, Every labour becomes joyful rest; Though we may pass through misery and death, Love, love must endure: [Love] makes everything, everything sweet Through a single greeting!
