NEUOFFENBARUNGTo sing to the Lord in the morning
1. Praised, yes, over and over praised be You, our holy and most loving Father!
2. It shows the earth, the stars, the moon and the sun, how great You are, oh Holy Father, how glorious, how good and how gracious and loving You are!
3. Oh, therefore I will praise and glorify You beyond measure; for You alone are worthy of the only greatest praise of people on earth, and of all the angels of heaven.
4. The little worm in the dust praises You, the fly praises You, the sparrow on the roof rejoices about You, full of grateful joy!
5. The eagle and all the animals of the woods praises You; they sense You in the darkness of the nights – You, most kind Father; You, Creator; You mighty, eternal God!
6. And the earth and all it’s seas and fire and winds, they know the great and mighty God, and – that He has created them for His own glory and His infinite glory only!
7. And the heavens in the eternal light of the endless love of the Holy Father are full of His eternal honor and greatest goodness, and testify of His infinite power.
8. And the angels, they sing with bliss fullest hearts: Oh holy, oh holy, oh holy are You, dear Father; – how good, oh how good it is to be with You!
9. Oh, so praise and extol then you, too, my soul, called into existence for eternal life and love, oh praise and extol the Holy Father in Jesus, who has given you most mercifully the childhood on the cross. –
10. And you also, my body, if already once is given to death – you temporal carrier of eternal life from God, you too praise and extol the Father, the holy One, the good One; for you will not remain in the bosom of the earth forever, and shall once be transfigured for me to an everlasting immortal garment! –
11. For so says the Lord: "This temple which you are breaking down, I will completely rebuild in three days!" –
12. Oh body, you my body, behold, you are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Though you be broken, fear not; for He who destroys you, does not destroy you to death, but rather that you may be transfigured for me to the most glorious eternal garment, in the bosom of the most holy Father's eternal love! –
13. And so be praised my sweetest, dearest Jesus and Holy Father, out of all my powers of the soul, and so also of the body; but it is I, the Spirit, who write such things here, humbly, to Your sole honor, oh Jesus, You Holy Father!
