Die Sabbatglocken hallen voll hoher Majestät, die frommen Beter wallen [auch: die frommen Scharen wallen] heut alle zum Gebet. Der Andacht Lieder tönen, es schwingt im frohen Sehnen [auch: im frommen Sehnen] sich unser Herz empor. Neig' uns, o Herr, neig' uns dein Ohr. Groß ist, was Gottes Gnade uns allen wieder gab, doch weichen von dem Pfade des Guten wir oft ab. Wir fühlen das mit Reue und flehen heut' aufs neue zu Gottes Vaterhuld: Trag', Vater, trag' uns mit Geduld.

The Sabbath bells toll full of high majesty, the pious worshippers all come to offer prayer today. Songs of devotion are sung, on wings of joyful longing our hearts are lifted high. Incline, O Lord, incline your ear to us! How great it is, what God's grace restored to us all, yet from the path of righteousness we often stray. We feel it and regret it and plead again today to God's fatherly goodness: Bear us, Father, bear us with patience.
