Original text and translations

German.png German text by Ambrosius Lobwasser (1579)

1. Ihr knecht des Herren allzugleich/
Den Herren lobt im himmelreich/
Die ihr in Gottes hauß bey nacht/
Als seine diener hüt und wacht.

2. Zum heiligthumb die händ auffhebt/
Lob ehr und preiß dem Herren gebt/
Dancksaget ihm von hertzen grund/
Sein lob stets führt in ewerm mund.

3. Gott der geschaffen hat die welt/
Und alles durch sein krafft erhält/
Der segne dich vom berg Sion/
Mit seinen gaben reich und schon.
