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!

Dieu le créateur du monde

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Vers Dieu envole-toi, très haut, au-dessus des sphères,
Chant qui retentit au loin, réjouis-toi en lui,
L'Éternel ! Il a ordonné que l'ancien vide donne naissance ;
Et sa parole toute-puissante est devenue loi,
À lui, source de tous les êtres, que de tous les êtres la louange soit apportée,
Au ciel et sur terre, louange à son sage pouvoir.
Vers Dieu envole-toi, chant qui retentit au loin !
