Oft fuhl ich jetz... (und) je tiefer ich einsehe, dass Schicksal und Gemut Namen eins Begriffes sind.

I often feel, and ever more deeply I realize,
that fate and character are the same conception.

Hills of the North, rejoice;
Rivers and mountain-spring,
Hark to the advent voice!
Valley and lowland, sing!
Though absent long, your Lord is nigh,
He judgement brings, and victory.
