Original text and translations

As torrents in summer, Half dried in their channels,
Suddenly rise, tho' the sky is still cloudlesss.
For rain has been falling.
Far off at their fountains;

So hearts that are fainting Grow full to o'erflowing,
And they that behold it, Marvel, and know not
That God at their fountains
Far off has been raining!

German.png German translation

Wie Fluten im Sommer, halb versiegt in ihrem Bett,
plötzlich steigen, obwohl der Himmel noch wolkenlos ist,
denn Regen ist gefallen,
fern an ihren Quellen;

so schwellen verzagte Herzen
bis sie überfließen;
und wer dies sieht, staunt, nicht wissend,
dass fern an ihren Quellen Gott geregnet hat!
