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!

God, de schepper der wereld

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Naar God vlieg op, hoog over alle sferen,
Juich toe, wijd schallend lofgezang,
De Eeuwige! Uit 't oude Niets wou Hij creëren;
En zijn almachtig woord was dwang.
Hem, bron van alle wezens, worde door alle wezens lof gebracht,
In hemel en op aarde lof voor zijn wijze macht.
Naar God vlieg op, mijn schallend lofgezang!
