Texts and Translations

German text Nun danket alle Gott, Der grosse Dinge tut an allen Enden; Der uns von Mutterleibe an Lebendig erhält und tut uns alles Guts. Nun danket... Er gebe uns ein fröhliches Herz, Und verleihe immerdar Friede zu unsrer Zeit in Israel. Nun danket... Und dass seine Gnade stets bei uns bleibe, Und erlöse uns, so lang wir leben. Nun danket... Alleluia.

English translation Now let everyone thank God, Who does great things to all ends; Who for us, from our mother's wombs, Has sustained us in life and done good things for us. Now let everyone... that He might give us a joyful heart, And might continually grant Peace in our time in Israel. Now let everyone... So that His grace may always be with us, And redeem us, as long as we live. Now let everyone... Hallelujah.
