Original text and translations
English text
Let the shrill trumpet’s warlike voice
make rocks and hills His praise rebound.
Praise Him with harps’ melodious noise
and gentle psaltry’s silver sound.
Let Virgin Troops soft timbrels bring
and some with graceful motion dance.
Let instruments with various strings with organs joined,
His praise advance, with organs joined.
