Gott, deine Güte reicht so weit,
So weit die Wolken gehen,
Du krönst uns mit Barmherzigkeit
Und eilst, uns beizustehen.
Herr! Meine Burg, mein Fels, mein Hort,
Vernimm mein Flehn, merk auf mein Wort;
Denn ich will vor dir beten!

Smeekbede

(Sung text translation for setting by L. Beethoven)

See original

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

God, Heer, uw goedheid reikt zo wijd,
Zo ver de wolken drijven,
Gij kroont ons met barmhartigheid,
Helpt overeind ons blijven.
Heer! Gij mijn burcht, mijn rots, mijn oord,
Verneem mijn roep, aanhoor mijn woord,
Want ik wil tot u bidden.
