Text for BWV 230 
Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)

Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden,
      Praise the Lord, all gentiles,
und preiset ihn, alle Völker! 
      and extol him, all peoples!
Denn seine Gnade und Wahrheit 
      For his mercy and truth
waltet über uns in Ewigkeit. 
      prevail for us in eternity.
Alleluja.  
      Alleluia.
