I want the text of the German hymn which begins with "Wehrlos und
verlassen, sehnt sich oft mein Herz nach stiller Ruh." I do not need
the music score.

Please let me know if this is what you're seeking:

"Wehrlos und verlassen - Carl Röhl (1810-1883)

Wehrlos und verlassen sehnt sich
oft mein Herz nach stiller Ruh
doch Du dekkest mit dem Fittich
Deiner Liebe sanft mich zu
Unter Deinem sanften Fittich
Find?ich Frieden, Trost und Ruh
denn Du schirmest mich so freundlich
schützest mich und deckst mich zu
Selig sind die? welche trauen dem Gott"

I am glad to have been able to help you find what you needed. I have
reposted the material below.

"Wehrlos und verlassen - Carl Röhl (1810-1883)

 Wehrlos und verlassen sehnt sich
 oft mein Herz nach stiller Ruh
 doch Du dekkest mit dem Fittich
 Deiner Liebe sanft mich zu
 Unter Deinem sanften Fittich

From the same site, here is an English translation:

"Wehrlos und verlassen sehnt sich 
 When I?m lonely and defenseless

 oft mein Herz nach stiller Ruh 
 my heart longs for rest and peace

 doch Du dekkest mit dem Fittich 
 Then you spread Your wings of caring

 Deiner Liebe sanft mich zu 
 with Your love You cover me

 Unter Deinem sanften Fittich 
 Under Your gentle wing

 Find?ich Frieden, Trost und Ruh 
 I find peace, solace and rest

 denn Du schirmest mich so freundlich 
 For You shield me so kindly

 schützest mich und deckst mich zu 
 Protect me and console me.

 Selig sind die? welche trauen dem Gott 
 Blessed are they who trust in God"
