Have you not heard his silent steps? [German translation]

Have you not heard his silent steps?

He comes, comes, ever comes.

Every moment and every age,

every day and every night

he comes, comes, ever comes.

Many a song have I sung

in many a mood of mind,

but all their notes have always proclaimed,

`He comes, comes, ever comes.'

In the fragrant days of sunny April

through the forest path

he comes, comes, ever comes.

In the rainy gloom of July nights

on the thundering chariot of clouds

he comes, comes, ever comes.

In sorrow after sorrow

it is his steps that press upon my heart,

and it is the golden touch of his feet

that makes my joy to shine.
