English text
God is near thee, therefore cheer thee,
Sad soul!
He'll defend thee
When around thee Billows roll.
Calm thy sadness, look in gladness
On high!
Faint and weary, pilgrim, cheer thee,
Help is nigh!
Mark the seabird wildly wheeling
Through the skies!
God defends him,
God attends him when he cries.
