Schicksalslenker, blicke nieder, Auf ein dankerfülltes Herz, Uns belebt die Freude wieder, Fern entfloh'n ist jeder Schmerz. Und das Leid, es ist vergessen, Durch die Nebel strahlt der Glanz Deiner Größe unermessen, Wie aus hellem Sternenkranz. Liebevoll nahmst du der Leiden Herben Kelch von Vaters Mund, Darum ward in Fern und Weiten Deine höchste Milde kund. Schicksalslenker, blicke nieder, Auf ein dankerfülltes Herz.

Lotbepaler, sla uw ogen Op een vol en dankbaar hart; Ons geeft vreugde nieuw vermogen, Ver gevlucht is elke smart. En 't verdriet, het is vergeten, Door de nevel straalt de glans Van uw grootheid ongemeten, Als uit lichte sterrenkrans. Liefdevol nam u het lijden, De1 bitt're kelk van vaders mond; Daarom werd aan alle zijden Uw goedgunstigheid verkond.
1 De: te zingen op een zestiende noot, ten koste van de voorafgaande achtste.
