Original German Lyrics:

Herrscher des Himmels, erhöre das Lallen,
Laß dir die matten Gesänge gefallen,
Wenn dich dein Zion mit Psalmen erhöht!
Höre der Herzen frohlockendes Preisen,
Wenn wir dir itzo die Ehrfurcht erweisen,
Weil unsre Wohlfahrt befestiget steht!


English Translation:

Hear, King of angels! though falter our voices;
O! when Thy Zion before Thee rejoices,
Let her endeavour be pleasing to Thee.
Hear us, O Lord, when we offer our praises,
Hear when Thy Zion glad thanksgiving raises,
Joying Thy mighty salvation to see.


Another English Translation:

Ruler of Heaven, hear our stammering tones,
Let our feeble singing please Thee,
When Thy Zion exalts Thee with psalms!
Hear our hearts’ triumphant praise,
When we now display our awe before Thee
Because our welfare is assured.
