| Nada te turbe, nada te espante. Quien a Dios tiene nada le falta. Nada te turbe, nada te espante. Solo Dios basta. | Nothing can trouble, nothing can frighten. Those who seek God will never go wanting. Nothing can trouble, nothing can frighten. God alone fills us. |

| Nada te turbe, Nada te espante, Todo se pasa, Dios no se muda. La paciencia Todo lo alcanza; Quien a Dios tiene Nada le falta: Sólo Dios basta. Eleva el pensamiento, Al cielo sube, Por nada te acongojes, Nada te turbe. A Jesucristo sigue Con pecho grande, Y, venga lo que venga, Nada te espante. ¿Ves la gloria del mundo Es gloria vana; Nada tiene de estable, Todo se pasa. Aspira a lo celeste, Que siempre dura; Fiel y rico en promesas, Dios no se muda. Ámala cual merece Bondad inmensa; Pero no hay amor fino Sin la paciencia. Confianza y fe viva Mantenga el alma, Que quien cree y espera Todo lo alcanza. Del infierno acosado Aunque se viere, Burlará sus furores Quien a Dios tiene. Vénganle desamparos, Cruces, desgracias; Siendo Dios su tesoro, Nada le falta. Id, pues, bienes del mundo; Id, dichas vanas; Aunque todo lo pierda, Sólo Dios basta. | Let nothing trouble you, Let nothing frighten you. Everything passes away, God never leaves. Patience Accomplishes all; Whoever has God Lacks nothing: God alone is enough. Raise up your thinking, It flies to heaven. Don’t let anything depress you, Let nothing trouble you. Follow Christ Jesus With your chest held high, And, whatever may come, Let nothing frighten you. Do you see the glory of the world? It’s vainglory; It has no stability, Everything passes away. Aspire to the celestial, That always remains; Faithful and rich en promises, God never leaves. Love, as deserved, Immense grace; But there is no fine love Without patience. Trust and living faith Maintain the soul, Whoever has faith and hope Achieves everything. Threatened by hell-fire Even if seeing it, Whoever has God Will laugh at its furor. Even if helplessness, crosses, disgraces come, With God being their treasure They lack nothing. Go, then, worldly possessions; Go, vain blessings; Even if all is lost, God alone is enough. |
