Zu Gott, zu Gott flieg auf, hoch über alle Sphären!
Jauchz ihm, weitschallender Gesang,
Dem Ewigen! Er hieß das alte Nichts gebähren;
Und sein allmächtig Wort war Zwang.
Ihm, aller Wesen Quelle, werde
Von allen Wesen Lob gebracht,
Im Himmel und auf Erden
Lob seiner weisen Macht!

Vers Déu, vola vers Déu, ben alt damunt les esferes! Dóna-li gaubances, cants que ressonin ben lluny, a l’Etern! Ell ordenà a l’antic no-res que donés a néixer; i la seva paraula totpoderosa esdevingué manament. A ell, origen de tots els éssers, que totes les criatures li portin lloances, al cel i a la terra lloada sia la seva saviesa!
