	Wir beten zu dem Tempel an, We pray at the temple Da Gottes Ehre wohnet, where God's honour dwells, Da dessen Treu, where his faithfulness So täglich neu, that is renewed every day Mit lauter Segen lohnet. Rewards us with unmixed blessing. Wir preisen, was er an uns hat getan. We praise what he has done for us. Muss gleich der schwache Mund von seinen Wundern lallen, Even if our weak mouths have to babble about his wonders, So kann ein schlechtes Lob ihm dennoch wohlgefallen. yet imperfect praise can still please him.
