The words are the seventh stanza of the Hymn:

  • Sing’, bet’ und geh’ auf Gottes Wegen,
  • Verricht’ das Deine nur getreu,
  • Und trau’ des Himmels reichem Segen,
  • So wird er bei dir werden neu:
  • Denn welcher seine Zuversicht
  • Auf Gott setzt, den verlasst er nicht.
  • B.G. xx. (i) 178.
