Dank und Preis, o Herr sei Dir!
Du führest uns aus diesen finstern Zeiten.
Schutz und Gnade schenkst Du mir,
Frieden und Liebe kommt nur aus Dir.
Dank, o Schöpfer!
Liebe besiegt selbst den Tod:
Leit' uns noch näher hin zu Dir!
Deine Gnad' tut uns so not!
Ohne sie wär' Verzweiflung und Tod!
Deinen Schutz auch heut' uns gib!
Schenke uns Frieden und Nächstenlieb!
Dank, o Schöpfer!
Liebe besiegt selbst den Tod:
Leit' uns noch näher hin zu Dir!

Song of Thanksgiving
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Thanks and praise, oh Lord, be Thine!
Thou leadest us out of these dark times.
Thou givest me protection and mercy.
Peace and love come only from Thee.
Thanks, oh Creator!
Love conquers even death:
Lead us even nearer to Thee!
Thy mercy is so necessary to us!
Without it there would be despair and death!
Give us Thy protection today as well!
Give us peace and love toward our neighbours!
Thanks, oh Creator!
Love conquers even death:
Lead us even nearer to Thee!
