Chorus
Sei nun wieder zufrieden, meine Seele,
denn der Herr tut dir Guts.
Tenor
Was helfen uns die schweren Sorgen,
Was hilft uns unser Weh und Ach?
Was hilft es, dass wir alle Morgen
Beseufzen unser Ungemach?
Wir machen unser Kreuz und Leid
Nur größer durch die Traurigkeit.
Sopran
Denk nicht in deiner Drangsalshitze,
Dass du von Gott verlassen seist,
Und dass Gott der im Schoße sitze,
Der sich mit stetem Glücke speist.
Die folgend Zeit verändert viel
Und setzet jeglichem sein Ziel.

Chorus. Be content once more, my soul
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Chorus
Be content once more, my soul,
For the Lord has done good to you.
Tenor
What good are agitated anxieties,
How do laments and wailing help us?
What good does it do, when every morning
We groan about our troubles?
We only make the suffering and sorrow
Greater through our grieving.
Soprano
Do not think, in the heat of your distress,
That you have been abandoned by God,
And that God only holds in his lap
The person who always dines on happiness.
The time that is coming will change a great deal
And establishes a goal for each person.
