English text

4.

Ye who pine in weary sadness,

Weep no more, for the door Now is found of gladness

Cling to him, for he will guide you,

Where no cross, pain or loss,

again can betide you

German translation

All 15 stanzas of the poem by Paul Gerhardt, 1653 (1607-1676)

Warum sollt' ich mich denn grämen?

Hab' ich doch Christum noch,

wer will mir den nehmen?

Wer will mir den Himmel rauben,

den mir schon Gottes Sohn

beigelegt im Glauben.
