	German Text (verses in bold print set by Bach)							English Translation
1	Gelobet sei der Herr, Mein Gott, mein Licht, mein Leben, Mein Schöpfer, der mir hat Mein Leib und Seel gegeben, Mein Vater, der mich schützt Von Mutterleibe an, Der alle Augenblick Viel Guts an mir getan.							Praised be the Lord, my God, my light, my life, my creator, who has given to me my body and soul, my father, who protects me from my mother's womb, who at every moment has done much good for me.
2	Gelobet sei der Herr, Mein Gott, mein Heil, mein Leben, Des Vaters liebster Sohn, Der sich für mich gegeben, Der mich erlöset hat Mit seinem teuren Blut, Der mir im Glauben schenkt Sich selbst, das höchste Gut.							Praised be the Lord, my God, my salvation, my life, the Father's dearest son who gave himself for me, who has redeemed me with his precious blood, who in faith bestows on me his very self, the greatest good.
3	Gelobet sei der Herr, Mein Gott, mein Trost, mein Leben, Des Vaters werter Geist, Den mir der Sohn gegeben, Der mir mein Herz erquickt, Der mir gibt neue Kraft, Der mir in aller Not Rat, Trost und Hülfe schafft.							Praised be the Lord, my God, my consolation, my life, the Father's worthy spirit, whom his son gave to me, who quickens my heart, who gives me new strength, who in all my need provides counsel, comfort and help.
4	Gelobet sei der Herr, Mein Gott, der ewig lebet, Den alles lobet, was In allen Lüften schwebet; Gelobet sei der Herr, Des Name heilig heißt, Gott Vater, Gott der Sohn Und Gott der Heilge Geist.							Praised be the Lord my God who lives for ever whom all things praise that soar in all the breezes; praised be the Lord whose name is called holy, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
5	Dem wir das Heilig itzt Mit Freuden lassen klingen Und mit der Engel Schar Das Heilig, Heilig singen, Den herzlich lobt und preist Die ganze Christenheit: Gelobet sei mein Gott In alle Ewigkeit!							To him we now "Holy" with joy make resound and with the angelic host sing "Holy, holy", who is sincerely praised and glorified by all of Christendom: praised be my God in all eternity.
