Beharre
Scheide, ach scheide
doch nur von Liebe nicht;
blüht Liebe gleich im Leide,
ist sie doch Lebenslicht!
[Scheide, o scheide von Liebe nicht!]

Scheide, ach scheide
doch nur von Hoffnung nicht.
Ein Stern ist sie im Leide,
ein Gottvergissmeinnicht!
[Scheide, o scheide von Hoffnung nicht!]

Scheide, ach scheide
doch nur vom Glauben nicht.
Der sagt dir: liebe, leide,
und hoff' in meinem Licht!
[Scheide, o scheide vom Glauben nicht!]

[Scheide, ach scheide
Doch nur vom Leide nicht!
Wer nicht kennt Lieb' im Leide,
Der kennt nicht Lieb' im Licht!
Scheide, o scheide vom Leide nicht!]

Persevere
Part, ah, part,
But not from love!
Even if love blooms instantly into suffering,
It is still the light of life!
[Part, oh, part not from love!]

Part, ah, part,
But not from hope!
It is a star in suffering,
A God-forget-me-not!
[Part, oh, part not from hope!]

Part, ah, part,
But not from faith!
It says to you: Love, suffer,
And trust in my light!
[Part, oh, part not from faith!]

[Part, ah, part,
But not from suffering!
Who does not know love in suffering
Does not know love in light!
Part, oh, part not from suffering!]
