Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen! |
Raise a shout to God in all lands. |
Was der Himmel und die Welt |
All created things that heaven |
An Geschöpfen in sich hält, |
And earth contains |
Müssen dessen Ruhm erhöhen, |
Must exalt his glory; |
Mit den Engeln lasst uns heut |
With the angels let us today |
Unserm Gott ein Loblied singen, |
Sing a song of acclamation to our God, |
Dass er uns in Neid und Leid |
Because he has stood with us |
Allezeit hat beigestanden. |
In [our] envy and pity at all times. |
