Selig sind, die da Leid tragen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Selig sind, die da Leid tragen, 
denn sie sollen getröstet werden.

Die mit Tränen säen,
werden mit Freuden ernten. 
Sie gehen hin und weinen
und tragen edlen Samen, 
und kommen mit Freuden 
und bringen ihre Garben.

Blessed are they that mourn

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Blessed are they that mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

They who sow in tears,
shall reap in joy.
Go forth and cry,
bearing precious seed,
and come with joy
bearing their sheaves.
