Representative lyrics
German (Original Language)
1. Großer Gott, wir loben dich! Herr, wir preisen deine Stärke! Vor dir neigt die Erde sich und bewundert deine Werke. Wie du warst vor aller Zeit, so bleibst du in Ewigkeit.
2. Sieh dein Volk in Gnaden an, hilf uns, segne, Herr, dein Erbe, leit es auf der rechten Bahn, dass der Feind es nicht verderbe! Wart und pfleg es in der Zeit, heb es hoch in Ewigkeit!
3. Herr, erbarm, erbarme dich! Auf uns komme, Herr, dein Segen! Deine Güte zeige sich allen der Verheißung wegen! Auf dich hoffen wir allein, lass uns nicht verloren sein!
