Qui presso a Te, Signor,
restar vogl’io!
È il grido del mio cuor,
l'ascolta, o Dio!
La sera scende oscura
sul cuor che s'impaura:
mi tenga ognor la fe',
qui presso a Te.
Qui presso a Te, Signor,
restar vogl'io!
Niun vede il mio dolor:
tu 'l vedi, o Dio!
O vivo Pan verace,
sol Tu puoi darmi pace:
e pace v'ha per me,
qui presso a Te.
English text
Here, next to you, my Lord
I want to stay!
it's the scream in my heart,
Hear it, o God!
Evening falls dark
on a fearing heart,
let Faith keep me
Here next to you.
Here next to you, my Lord,
I want to stay!
Noone sees my pain,
You seei it, o God!
O living true bread
Only you can give me peace,
And there is peace for me
here, next to you.
