Am Neujahrstage

Herr Gott, du bist unsre Zuflucht für und für.
Ehe denn die Berge worden, und die Erde und die
Welt erschaffen worden, bist du Gott von Ewigkeit
zu Ewigkeit.
Hallelujah!

On New Year's Day

Lord God, you are our refuge for evermore.
You are our God from age to age, from before the
mountains were made, and the lands and the world
were created.
Hallelujah!
