German text |
English translation |
|---|---|
Sein Allmacht zu ergründen, |
To fathom His omnipotence |
Wird sich kein Mensche finden, |
no human can discern, |
Mein Mund verstummt und schweigt. |
my mouth is dumb and silent. |
Ich sehe durch die Sterne, |
I see through the stars |
Daß er sich schon von ferne |
that He already from afar |
Zur Rechten Gottes zeigt. |
indicates the right hand of God. |
