Gott grüße dich! Kein andrer Gruß
Gleicht dem an Innigkeit.
Gott grüße dich! Kein andrer Gruß
Paßt so zu jeder Zeit.

Gott grüße dich! Wenn dieser Gruß

Gilt bei dem lieben Gott der Gruß
So viel wie ein Gebet.

God be with you God greets you! No other

(Sung text translation for setting by L. Ebner)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

God be with you God greets you! No other
greeting Is equal to that in its intimacy.
God be with you! No other greeting
Is so appropriate at all times.

God be with you! When this greeting
Comes earnestly from one’s heart,
The greeting means as much to beloved God
As does a prayer.
