Original text and translations

English text 1. The world of forms and changes Is just now so confused That there is found some danger In everything you use; But this is consolation To every blood-washed child, The Lord will change our station, After a while. Chorus After a while, After a while, The Lord will change our station, After a while.

2. Old Satan tries to throw down Everything that's good; He'd fix a way to confound The righteous, if he could, But thanks to God Almighty That he cannot beguile; And we will be done fighting After a while.

3. There are some men and women That help the devil on By constantly complaining Of everything that's done. They want to be called Christians, And all their badness hide; God will open the secret, After a while.
