Zuversicht

Language: German

Nach oben mußt du blicken,
gedrücktes, wundes Herz,
dann wandelt in Entzücken
sich bald dein tiefster Schmerz.

Froh darfst du Hoffnung fassen,
wie hoch die Flut auch treibt.
Wie wärst du denn verlassen,
wenn dir die Liebe bleibt?

Assurance

Language: English

You must look upwards,
Burdened, wounded heart,
Then your deepest sorrow
Will soon be transformed into rapture.

You may happily take hope,
No matter how high the floodwaters rise.
How could you be forsaken
If you still have love?
