ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
1. Help me to praise God's goodness,
you dear little children,
with songs and other tunes
to be always thankful to him,
especially at this time
when the year comes to an end,
the sun is turned towards us, and
the New Year is not distant.

2. Let us seriously regard
the rich mercy of the Lord
and so not fail to give consideration
to his countless benefits,
but keep continually in mind
how during this year he has given
all the necessities of life
and protected us from sorrow,

4. He has spared us
in his fatherly mercy;
but if he had rewarded
all our wrongdoing
with the punishment and pain we deserve,
we would have long since perished,
ruined in much distress,
sinful as we are.

5. Like a faithful father
he is so merciful to us;
if we repent from our sins, and
believe in Jesus Christ
in our hearts without hypocrisy,
he forgives all our sins,
removes the punishment they bring,
and stands by us in all trouble.
