Listening to MP3 files is far "greener" than buying CDs, so perhaps a CD-equivalent donation is in order;
it will help me to continue offering music for your enjoyment.
- Chorale Text
German:
Helft mir Gott's Güte preisen,
Ihr lieben Kinderlein,
Mit G'sang und andern Weisen,
Ihm allzeit dankbar sein,
Vornehmlich zu der Zeit,
Da sich das Jahr thut enden,
Die Sonn sich zu uns wenden,
Das neu Jahr ist nicht weit.
English:
Come, let us all with fervour,
On whom heaven's mercies shine,
To our supreme Preserver
In tuneful praisesjoin.
Another year is gone,
Of which the tender mercies
Each pious heart rehearses
Demand a grateful song.
--Tr. J. C. Jacobi
