Herr, wir trau'n auf deine Güte,
die uns rettet wunderbar,
singen dir mit frommen Liede,
danken freudig immerdar.

Lasst sein heilig Lob uns singen,

seiner Liebe ewig freu’n!

Lord, my heart's devotion raises
off'rings to thy throne above,
Glad to sing thy hallow'd praises,
aye rejoicing in thy love.

Let us sing his holy praises,
Let us rejoice in his love,
Rejoice in his love forever.

Lord, we trust in your goodness,
which saves us wonderfully,
we sing to thee thy with pious song,
rejoicing always thankful in thy love.
