Nun danket alle Gott |
Now let everyone thank God |
Mit Herzen, Mund und Händen, |

Der große Dinge tut |
Who does great things |
An uns und allen Enden, |
for us and to all ends, |
Der uns von Mutterleib |
Who has done for us from our mother’s wombs |
Und Kindesbeinen an |
and childhood on |
Unzählig viel zugut |
many uncountable good things |
Und noch itzund getan. |
and does so still today. |
