Sei Lob und Ehr dem höchsten Gut, |
Praise and honor be to the highest good, |
Dem Vater aller Güte, |
to the Father of all goodness, |
Dem Gott, der alle Wunder tut, |
to God, who works all miracles, |
Dem Gott, der mein Gemüte |
to God, who fills my spirit |
mit seinem reichen Trost erfüllt, |
with His sumptuous comfort, |
Dem Gott, der allen Jammer stillt. |
to God, who quiets all anguish. |
Gebt unserm Gott die Ehre! |
Give honor to our God! |
