Original text and translations

German text Herr, Herr, wenn ich nur Dich hab', so frag' ich nichts nach Himmel und Erden. (x3) Wenn mir gleich Leib und Seel' verschmacht', (x3) so bist Du doch, Gott, allezeit (x2) meines Herzens Trost, (x3) so bist Du doch, Gott, allezeit meines Herzens Trost und mein Teil. Hallelujah, ...

English translation Lord, Lord, if I have You alone, I do not care for heaven and earth here. (x3) If life and limb shall pass away, (x3) still You will always be, o Lord, (x2) comforting my heart, (x3) still You will always be, o Lord, comforting my heart and my soul.
