Jauchzet, frohlocket, auf, preiset die Tage, |
Celebrate, rejoice, rise up and praise these days, |
Rühmet, was heute der Höchste getan! |

Lasset das Zagen, verbannet die Klage, |
Abandon despair, banish laments, |
Stimmet voll Jauchzen und Fröhlichkeit an! |

Dienet dem Höchsten mit herrlichen Chören, |

Laßt uns den Namen des Herrschers verehren! |
