Ehre, Ehre sey Gott in der Höhe! Singet der Himmlischen selige Schaar. Ehre, Ehre sey Gott in der Höhe! Stammeln auch wir, die die Erde gebar. Staunen nur kann ich, und staunend mich freu'n; Vater der Welten! doch stimm' ich mit ein: Ehre sey Gott in der Höhe! Ehre, Ehre sey Gott in der Höhe! Kündet der Sterne strahlendes Heer. Ehre, Ehre sey Gott in der Höhe! Säuseln die Lüfte, brauset das Meer. [Feyrender]1 Wesen unendlicher Chor Jubelt im ewigen Danklied' empor: Ehre sey Gott in der Höhe!

Gloire, gloire à Dieu au plus haut, Chante la bienheureuse troupe céleste. Gloire, gloire à Dieu au plus haut ! Nous aussi, qui sommes nés sur la terre, nous balbutions. Je peux seulement m'émerveiller et me réjouir avec émerveillement : Père des mondes ! Pourtant je dis à l'unisson : Gloire à Dieu au plus haut ! Gloire, gloire à Dieu au plus haut ! Proclame la troupe brillante des étoiles. Gloire, gloire à Dieu au plus haut ! Murmure la brise, rugit la mer. Le chœur éternel des êtres en fête Jubile en un chant de remerciement sans fin : Gloire à Dieu au plus haut !
