God is greatly to be praised,

For he Christ from death hath raised.

He is the triune and almighty God,

Adam he made from the sod.

He is God almighty throughout the heavens,

Sing to him with joyful hymns.

All things that on the earth do live,

 To him your praise now give.

The mighty trees of cedar high,

They show that he is always nigh.

The tender fern so meek and low,

Murmurs that he made them so.

The fish of the sea, the birds of the air,

Each in their place he has set there.

The sky, so vast in measure,

He made it for his pleasure.

So let every thing that he hath made,

Though they may wither, and shall fade,

Give honor to him who made them and give glory to his name.
