Die Sabbatglocken hallen
Language: German (Deutsch)
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
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
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.
