German text

Am Neujahrstage

Herr Gott, du bist unsre Zuflucht für und für.

Ehe denn die Berge worden, und die Erde und die

Welt erschaffen worden, bist du Gott von Ewigkeit

zu Ewigkeit.

Hallelujah!

English translation

On New Year's Day

Lord God, you are our refuge for evermore.

You are our God from age to age, from before the

mountains were made, and the lands and the world

were created.

Hallelujah!
