Der Herr hat Guts an uns getan, |
The Lord has done good things for us, |
Des sind wir alle fröhlich. |
therefore we all rejoice. |
Er seh die teuren Väter an |
He gazes upon our faithful fathers, |
Und halte auf unzählig |
and supports them in untold |
Und späte lange Jahre naus |
and long-lasting years |
In ihrem Regimente Haus, |
in the house of their government, |
So wollen wir ihn preisen. |
therefore we would praise Him. |
