Hoch sei gepriesen der Schöpfer der Erde!
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Hoch sei gepriesen der Schöpfer der Erde! Er wußte sie vortrefflich zu gestalten. Meere, er schuf die ohne Grunde, Er schuf die Barken, die sie kühn durchfahren Er schuf die Barken, er schuf das Paradies. Er schuf auch all die Reize in deinem Antlitz.
