Chorale Text
German:
Lob sei dem allmächtigen Gott,
der unser sich erbarmet hat,
gesandt sein allerliebsten Sohn
aus ihm geborn im höchsten Thron.

English:
To God we render thanks and praise,
Who pitied mankind's fallen race,
And gave His dear and only Son,
That us, as children, He might own.
--Tr. Moravian Hymn Book
