(S, A, T, B)
Ehre sei dir, Gott, gesungen,
Dir sei Lob und Dank bereit.
Dir sei Lob und Dank bereit.
Dich erhebet alle Welt,
Weil dir unser Wohl gefällt,
Weil anheut
Unser aller Wunsch gelungen,
Weil uns dein Segen so herrlich erfreut.

Glory to thee, God, be sung now,
Thee be praise and thanks prepared,
Glory to thee, God, be sung now,
Thee be praise and thanks prepared,
Thee exalteth all the world,
For our good is thy desire,
For today
Is our ev'ry wish accomplished,
For us thy favor brings such splendid joy.
