Original text and translations

German text Nu danket alle Gott, der große Ding tut an allen Enden, der uns von Mutterleibe an lebendig erhält und tut uns alles Guts. Er gebe uns ein fröhliches Herz und verleihe immerdar Friede zu unser Zeit in Israel, und daß seine Gnade stets bei uns bleib; Und erlöse uns so lange wir leben.
