Sei Lob und Ehr mit hohem Preis
um dieser Guttat willen
Gott Vater, Sohn, heiligem Geist,
Der wöll mit Gnad erfüllen,
was er in uns angfangen hat
zu Ehren seiner Majestat,
dass heilig werd sein Name.

English.png English translation

Be laud and honour with high praise
for this good deed’s sake
God father, Son, Holy Ghost,
he may fulfil by mercy that
which he has begun within us,
in honour of his majesty,
so that his name becomes holy.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt
