Und lobsingt des Schöpfers Güte,

In the pleasant bushes

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Händel)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

In the pleasant bushes,
where light and shadow mix,
seek in silent pleasure
your eye and heart to refresh;
then lift out of your breast
my content feelings
and sing praise to the Creator's Goodness.
