by Walter Hayes Misch (1878 - 1914), as Alfred Walter Heymel

Trost
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Herzenstakt und Melodie
Strömst du aus,
Ordnest gütig, was in mir
Wirr und kraus.
Bin ich fern dir, wie verbannt,
Bist du nah,
Sinn ich, streite, wache, träume,
Du bist da.

Darf ich auch nicht bei dir sein,
Abgesprengt,
Sieh, wie dringlich dies mein Herz
Dir zu drängt.
Daß es deiner Hoheit dient,
Nie vergiß;
Daß du seine Helferin bist,
Sei gewiß!

Dunkel, Dickicht, Dornen droh'n,
Doch es bricht
Durch Gezweig und durch Gewölk
Mir dein Licht.
Du mein hochgelobter Stern,
Halte Wacht,
Tröste mich und führe mich
Durch die Nacht.
