- Chorale Text
German:
Von Gott will ich nicht lassen,
denn er lässt nicht von mir,
führt mich auf rechter Strassen,
da ich sonst irret sehr,
reichet mir seine Hand.
Den Abend wie den Morgen
tut er mich wohl versorgen,
sei, wo ich woll, im land.
--Ludwig Helmbold, Erfurt, 1563
English:
From God shall naught divide me,
For he is true for aye,
And on my path will guide me,
Who else should often stray,
His ever bounteous hand
By night and day is heedful,
And gives me what is needful,
Where'er I go or stand.
--Catherine Winkworth, 1863
