Sei Lob und Presi mit Ehren,
Gott Vater, Sohn und Heilgem Geist
der woll in uns vermehren
was er aus Gnaden uns verheißt,
daß wir ihm fest vertrauen
gänzlich verlass’n auf ihn,
von Herzen auf ihn bauen,
daß uns’r Herz, Mut und Sinn
ihm tröstlich soll’n anhangen
drauf singen wir zur Stund:
Amen, wir werd’ns erlangen
glaub’n wir aus Herzensgrund.

sei unserm Gott von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit. Amen.
