Dutch text
Al heeft hij ons verlaten, hij laat ons nooit alleen:
wat wij in hem bezaten is altijd om ons heen,
als zonlicht om de bloemen, een moeder om haar kind,
teveel om op te noemen zijn wij door hem bemind.
Al is hij opgenomen, houd in herinnering
dat hij terug zal komen zoals hij van ons ging.
Wij leven van vertrouwen dat wij zijn majesteit
van oog tot oog aanschouwen in alle eeuwigheid.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
Although he is gone from us, he never abandons us:
what we possessed in him is always around us,
like sunlight on the flowers, a mother with her child,
he loves us in too many ways to list.
Although he has gone up into heaven, remember
that he will return, just as went from us.
We live in the faith that we shall see his majesty
face to face in all eternity.
