English Lyrics:
Let our hearts be always cheerful;
Why should murm'ring enter there,
When our kind and loving Father
Makes us children of His care?
CHORUS:
Always cheerful, always cheerful,
Sunshine all around we see;
Full of beauty is the path of duty,
Cheerful we may always be.
With His gentle hand to lead us,
Should the pow'rs of sin assail,
He has promised grace to help us;
Never can His promise fail.
When we turn aside from duty,
Comes the pain of doing wrong;
And a shadow, creeping o'er us,
Checks the rapture of our song.
Oh! the good are always happy,
And their path is ever bright;
Let us heed the blessed counsel,
Shun the wrong and love the right.
Music: Robert Lowry 1873 [Always Cheerful]

![Battle of Rebirth [Star Wars]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ybPbVRt-x-8/mqdefault.jpg "Battle of Rebirth [Star Wars]
Herz-Verlag, January 25, 2018
Now there is the battle of rebirth in the processes of transformation. What is planted in the seed must unfold. The old consciousness of the seed to remain always just a seed, small and inconspicuous, must first die and rise again into the consciousness of its destiny, for example to be an oak tree. Im an oak tree, says the seed, and everything laughs. What are you? An oak tree? and the world laughs at the caterpillar: What are you? A butterfly? And even the caterpillar then laughs at itself and fights in its consciousness against the destiny of being a butterfly by looking at itself, remaining in its apparent condition. And man remains in this condition far too often, and his little faith becomes unbelief, because so many remain in unbelief and do not want to let themselves be converted into the new, into the original destiny of divinity, but rather would see it condemned to the norm of the natural instead of the supernatural life in Me, having condemned themselves to it.
Original German:
Nun gibt es bei den Umwandlungsprozessen den Kampf der Neuwerdung. Das, was im Samen angelegt ist, muss sich entfalten. Das alte Bewusstsein des Samens, nur und immer nur ein Same zu bleiben, klein und unscheinbar, muss erst sterben und auferstehen in das Bewusstsein seiner Bestimmung, zum Beispiel eine Eiche zu sein. Ich bin eine Eiche, sagt der Same, und alles lacht. Was bist du? Eine Eiche? und die Welt lacht über die Raupe: Was bist du? Ein Schmetterling? Und selbst die Raupe lacht dann über sich selbst und kämpft in ihrem Bewusstsein gegen die Bestimmung, Schmetterling zu sein, indem sie auf sich selbst schaut, in ihrer augenscheinlichen Verfassung verharrt. Und in dieser Verfassung verharrt der Mensch zu oft, und sein Kleinglaube wird zum Unglauben, weil so viele im Unglauben verharren und sich nicht in die neue bzw. alte Bestimmung zur Göttlichkeit einkehren lassen wollen, sondern sie zur Norm des natürlichen, statt übernatürlichen Lebens in Mir verdammt sehen wollen, weil sie sich selbst dazu verdammt haben.")
