Midnight Improvisation: "Ich singe dir"

Another tune from childhood -

Text:

I sing, O Lord, with lips and heart,
Joy of my soul, to Thee;
To earth Thy knowledge I impart
As it is known to me.

Thou art the Fount of grace, I know,
And Spring so full and free
Whence saving health and goodness flow
Each day so bounteously.

For what have all that live and move
Through this wide world below
That does not from Thy bounteous love,
O heav’nly Father, flow?

Who built the lofty firmament?
Who spread th’ expanse of blue?
By whom are to our pastures sent
Refreshing rain and dew?

Paul Gerhardt, 1653
Translation by John Kelly, 1867
