Blessed Be the Day When I Must Roam (Moravian Emigrants' Hymn)

Verse 1

Blessed be the day when I must roam far from my country, friends, and home, an exile, poor and mean; my fathers' God will be my Guide, will angel guards for me provide, my soul, my soul in danger screen.

Verse 2

My God will lead me to a spot where, all my cares and griefs forgot, I shall enjoy sweet rest. As pants for cooling streams the hart, I languish for my heavenly part, for God, for God, my Refuge blessed.
