God will be a sure Defence;
This shall be my confidence.
Jesus lives! henceforth is death
Entrance-gate of life immortal;
This shall calm my trembling breath,
When I pass its gloomy portal:
Faith shall cry, as fails each sense,
Lord, Thou art my Confidence.
[Himmelfahrtslied.]
Gott fähret auf mit Jauchzen,
Und der Herr mit heller Posaune.
