GERMAN (original)
Durchs Feuer wird das Silber rein,
Durchs Kreuz das Wort bewährt erfunden.
Drum soll ein Christ zu allen Stunden
Im Kreuz und Not geduldig sein.

Silver becomes pure through fire,
God's word has been found to be tried and tested through the cross.
Therefore a Christian at all hours
should be patient in his cross and distress.
