Sound the trumpet

Language: English

Our translations: CAT DUT FRE GER

Sound the trumpet till around
You make the listening shores rebound.
On the sprightly oboy play.
All the instruments of joy
That skilful numbers can employ
To celebrate the glory of this day.

Laßt die Trompete erschallen

Language: German (Deutsch) after the English

Laßt die Trompete erschallen,
daß die Ufer widerhallen.
Spielt auf der lebhaften Schalmei
Alle Instrumente der Freude,
die je begabten Scharen spielten,
preist die Herrlichkeit dieses Tages.
