Jauchzet, frohlocket, auf, preiset die Tage, |
Rejoice, exult, arise, praise the days, |
rühmet, was heute der Höchste getan! |
extol what the Highest has done today! |
Lasset das Zagen, verbannet die Klage, |
Cease hesitation, banish complaint, |
stimmet voll Jauchzen und Fröhlichkeit an! |
join in with rejoicing and exultation! |
Dienet dem Höchsten mit herrlichen Chören! |
Serve the Highest with glorious choruses! |
Lasst uns den Namen des Herrschers verehren. |
Let us revere the name of the Sovereign. |
