	Story Behind the Song This realization uses a GM SoundFont Lyrics German: 1. Lobe den Herren, Den mächtigen König der Ehren! Meine geliebete Seele, Das ist mein Begehren. Kommet zu Hauf. Psalter und Harfe wacht auf, Laßet den Lobgesang hören! 2. Lobe den Herren, Der alles so herrlich regieret, Der dich auf Adelers Fittichen sicher geführet, Der dich erhält, Wie es dir selber gefällt; Hast du nicht dieses verspüret? 3. Lobe den Herren, Der künstlich und fein dich bereitet, Der dir Gesundheit Verliehen, dich freundlich geleitet. In wieviel Not Hat dich der gnädige Gott Über dir Flügel gebreitet. 4. Lobe den Herren, Der deinen Stand sichtbar gesegnet, Der aus dem Himmel Mit Strömen der Liebe geregnet. Denke daran, Was der Allmächtige kann, Der dir mit Liebe begegnet. 5. Lobe den Herren; Was in mir ist, lobe den Namen. Alles was Odem hat, Lobe mit Abrahams Samen*). Er ist dein Licht; Seele, vergiß es ja nicht; Lob ihn und schließe mit Amen! --Joachim Neander, 1679 English: 1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! O my soul, praise Him, for He is Thy Health and Salvation! Join the full throng: Wake, harp and psalter and song; Sound forth in glad adoration! 2. Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth, Who, as on wings of an eagle, uplifteth, sustaineth. Hast thou not seen How thy desires all have been Granted in what He ordaineth? 3. Praise to the Lord, who hath fearfully, wondrously, made thee; Health hath vouchsafed and, when heedlessly falling, hath stayed thee. What need or grief Ever hath failed of relief?-- Wings of His mercy did shade thee. 4. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee, Who from the heavens the streams of His mercy doth send thee. Ponder anew What the Almighty can do, Who with His love doth befriend thee. 5. Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that is in me adore Him! All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him! Let the Amen Sound from His people again; Gladly for aye we adore Him. --Translated by Catherine Winkworth, 1829-1878
