Mein Herz ist bereit, Gott
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Mein Herz ist bereit, Gott,
dass ich singe und lobe.
Wache auf, meine Ehre, wache auf.
Wohlauf, Psalter und Harfen [wohlauf]1!
Früh will ich aufwachen.
Herr, ich will dir danken unter den Völkern,
ich will dir lobsingen unter den Leuten.
Denn deine [Gnade reichet]2 so weit der Himmel
ist und deine Wahrheit, so weit die Wolken gehen.
Erhebe dich, Gott, über den Himmel
und deine Ehre über alle Welt.
Alleluia
