Herr, wert, dass Scharen der Engel dir dienen |
Lord, who is worthy to be served by angels, |
und dass dich der Glaube der Völker verehrt, |
and who is honored by all peoples who believe, |
ich danke dir! |
I thank you, Lord! |
Sei mir gepriesen unter ihnen! |
Let me praise you along with others! |
Ich jauchze dir! |
I laud you! |
Und jauchzend lobsingen dir Engel und Völker mit mir! |
And the angels and people joyfully sing your praises with me! |
