Aria. Schweig, schweig nur, taumelnde...

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Schweig, schweig nur, taumelnde Vernunft!
    Sprich nicht: Die Frommen sind verlorn,
    Das Kreuz hat sie nur neu geborn.
    Denn denen, die auf Jesum hoffen,
    Steht stets die Tür der Gnaden offen;
    Und wenn sie Kreuz und Trübsal drückt,
    So werden sie mit Trost erquickt.

Air. Tais‑toi, tais‑toi, raison chancelante !

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Tais-toi, tais-toi, raison chancelante !
Ne dis pas : les justes sont perdus,
La croix leur a donné une nouvelle naissance.
Car pour ceux qui croient en Jésus,
La porte de la grâce est toujours ouverte ;
Et quand la souffrance et le chagrin les oppressent,
Ils seront rafraîchis et réconfortés.
