Gebet
Prayer

Herr! schicke was du willst,
Lord! Send whatever you want,

Ein Liebes oder Leides;
A good or a bad (thing);

Ich bin vergnügt, daß beides
I am happy that both 

Aus deinen Händen quillt.
Out of your hands come.

Wollest mit Freuden
You want with joys

Und wollest mit Leiden
And you want with sorrow

Mich nicht überschütten!
Me not overwhelm!

Doch in der Mitten
But in the middle 

Liegt holdes Bescheiden.
Lies tender contentment.
