Getrost im Leiden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Der Himmel lässt nach langem weinen,
die Glückessonne wieder scheinen;
das Schicksal ist nicht stets erbosst.
Wir werden nicht beständig trauren;
das Unglück kann nicht ewig dauren;
darum bin ich auch beim Schmerz getrost.

Confidently in suffering
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
The sky, at length ceases to weep,
luck-suns shine again;
fate is not always angry.
We do not become steadily sad;
misfortune cannot last eternally;
therefore I am confident even with pain.
