Original text and translations

German text Herr! schicke, was du willt, Ein Liebes oder Leides! Ich bin vergnügt, daß beides Aus deinen Händen quillt. Wollest mit Freuden Und wollest mit Leiden Mich nicht überschütten! Doch in der Mitten Liegt holdes Bescheiden.

English translation Lord, grant what Thou wilt Of love or of suffering! I am satisfied that both Flow from your hands. Do not will with joy Nor with suffering To overwhelm me. For in the middle lies the blessed apportionment.
