Wem Gott will rechte Gunst erweisen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wem Gott will rechte Gunst erweisen, Den schickt er in die weite Welt, Dem will er seine Wunder weisen In Berg und Wald und Strom und Feld. Die Trägen, die zu Hause liegen, Erquicket nicht das Morgenrot, Sie wissen nur vom Kinderwiegen, Von Sorgen, Last und Not [um]1 Brot. Die Bächlein von den Bergen springen, Die Lerchen schwirren hoch vor Lust, Was sollt' ich nicht mit ihnen singen Aus voller Kehl' und frischer Brust? Den lieben Gott [laß ich nur]2 walten; Der Bächlein, Lerchen, [Wald]3 und Feld, Und Erd' und Himmel will erhalten, Hat auch mein Sach' aufs Best' bestellt.
F. Mendelssohn sets stanzas 1, 3-4
F. Fröhlich sets stanzas 1, 3-4 in (at least) one setting - see below for more information

Quand Dieu veut manifester sa faveur
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Quand Dieu veut manifester sa faveur, Il t'envoie dans le vaste monde, Celui à qui il veut montrer ses merveilles, Vers montagnes, forêts, fleuves et champs. Les paresseux qui restent à la maison, Ne sont pas stimulés par l'aurore, Ils ne connaissent que berceaux, Soucis, charges et l'urgence du pain. Les ruisseaux dévalent de la montagne, Les alouettes turlutent haut leur plaisir Pourquoi ne chanterais-je pas avec elles, À gorge déployée et plein poumon. Je laisse juste faire le bon Dieu ; Il préservera la terre et le ciel, Le ruisseau, l'alouette, le vent et les champs, Et s'occupera aussi au mieux de mes affaires.
