Representative lyrics
German (Original Language)
1. Sehet ihr Völker, Licht bricht heran! O hört, ein Engel bringt euch den Plan! Hell wie die Sonne leuchtet die Bahn jedem nun himmelan!
O wie herrlich von des Himmels Thron strömt das Licht der Wahrheit nun hervor! Höret die Stimme, hell wie zuvor, heute am Weltentor!
2. Wieder ertönet von seinem Mund zu aller Welt die göttliche Kund. Engel frohlocken, Satan verstummt, höret den neuen Bund!
O wie herrlich von des Himmels Thron strömt das Licht der Wahrheit nun hervor! Höret die Stimme, hell wie zuvor, heute am Weltentor!
3. Ehret den wahren, ewigen Gott, Buße und Tauf verlanget sein Wort. Weiht ihm das Herz, und durch seinen Sohn wird euch ein ewger Lohn!
O wie herrlich von des Himmels Thron strömt das Licht der Wahrheit nun hervor! Höret die Stimme, hell wie zuvor, heute am Weltentor!
4. Diener des Herrn verkünden das Wort. O weiset nicht verblendet es fort! Suchet und bittet, ja klopfet an, so wird euch aufgetan!
O wie herrlich von des Himmels Thron strömt das Licht der Wahrheit nun hervor! Höret die Stimme, hell wie zuvor, heute am Weltentor!
English
1. Hark, all ye nations! Hear heaven’s voice Thru ev’ry land that all may rejoice! Angels of glory shout the refrain: Truth is restored again!
Oh, how glorious from the throne above Shines the gospel light of truth and love! Bright as the sun, this heavenly ray Lights ev’ry land today.
2. Searching in darkness, nations have wept; Watching for dawn, their vigil they’ve kept. All now rejoice; the long night is o’er. Truth is on earth once more!
Oh, how glorious from the throne above Shines the gospel light of truth and love! Bright as the sun, this heavenly ray Lights ev’ry land today.
3. Chosen by God to serve him below, To ev’ry land and people we’ll go, Standing for truth with fervent accord, Teaching his holy word.
Oh, how glorious from the throne above Shines the gospel light of truth and love! Bright as the sun, this heavenly ray Lights ev’ry land today.
