Literal English translation:
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
O my wonderful Jesus,
my weak soul's only company,
in every adversity and misery
hold my feeble spirit ashore;
and while I'm thrown here and there
on the fluctuation of the waves of the world
help give me hold
In you, that is still one.


I'll put my foot where I want
On shaking things in the world,
Shake the land is beneath me,
Pieces still falling down;
But if I get bailed out
In the great tempest and my blast,
On the eternal rock of the ages,
That's where there is never a swing.


Weigh the morning on my family,
Miss those afternoons;
Press friends again,
They lose very soon;
Pressing on ease - that is rocking,
Experience a world change soon:
Lean on Jesus, this is strength
Which holds all the weight.
