Original text and translations
English translation
by Karl Klingermann for the British premiere
Lord, Thou alone art God,
and Thine are the heaven, the earth, the mighty waters.
The Heathen furiously rage, Lord,
against Thee, and against Thy Christ.
Now behold, lest our foes prevail,
and grant to Thy servants all strength and joyfulness,
that they may preach Thy word.
German text
by Julius Schubring
Herr! Herr! Herr, der Du bist der Gott,
der Du bist der Gott,
der Himmel und Erde und das Meer gemacht hat,
Herr, der du bist der Gott,
Herr, der Du bist der Gott,
der Himmel und Erde und das Meer gemacht.
Die Heiden lehnen sich auf,
Die Heiden lehnen sich auf, Herr, wider dich und Deinen Christ,
Herr, wider dich und Deinen Christ,
Und nun Herr, siehe an ihr Droh'n,
und gib Deinen Knechten mit aller Freudigkeit,
zu reden dein Wort,
Herr! Herr! Herr, gib deinen Knechten mit aller Freudigkeit zu reden dein Wort.
