Till our rest be won!
And although the way be cheerless,
We will follow, calm and fearless:
Guide us by Thy hand
To our Fatherland.
If the foe be near,
Let not faithless fears o’ertake us,
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For, through many a foe,
To our home we go.
From a long-felt grief;
When oppressed by new temptations,
Lord, increase and perfect patience;
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more.
Till our rest be won;
Heavenly Leader, still direct us,
Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our Fatherland.
