German text
Groß ist der Herr, von seiner Macht
erzählen Himmel, Erd und Meere.
Ihn preist die sternenvolle Nacht,
die Sonn und aller Sonnen Heere.
Groß ist der Herr, groß ist der Herr!
Ihn rühmt die blühende Natur,
ihr Schmuck und ihrer Früchte Menge,
die weite ährenreiche Flur
sind seiner Allmacht Lobgesänge.
Groß ist der Herr, groß ist der Herr!
Groß ist der Herr, zu ihm empor
soll hochentzückt mein Geist sich schwingen,
in aller Welten mächtgen Chor
soll jauchzend auch mein Loblied klingen.
Groß ist der Herr, groß ist der Herr!

Great is the Lord; heaven, earth and the seas tell of His power.
Him praises the star-filled night, the sun, and all the multitudes of suns.
Great is the Lord! Great is the Lord!
Him blooming nature extolls, its decorations and fruits' abundance;
the wide meadows [rich with their yield of grain] are His praise songs.
Great is the Lord! Great is the Lord!
Great is the Lord; to Him on high, supremely enraptured shall my spirit soar;
throughout the world's mighty chorus also, exultantly shall my praise hymn ring.
Great is the Lord! Great is the Lord!
