Ehre sei dir, Gott, gesungen,
Dir sei Lob und Dank bereit'.
Dich erhebet alle Welt,
Weil dir unser Wohl gefällt,
Weil anheut
Unser aller Wunsch gelungen,
Weil uns dein Segen so herrlich erfreut.

Let honor be sung to You, o God,
praise and thanks be prepared for You.
All the world exalts You,

since today
all our wishes have come to pass,
since Your blessing so gloriously delights us.

So incredibly beautiful this work by the greatest of them all, Johann Sebastian Bach, brought to life by one of his greatest 'interpreters', John Eliot Gardiner. Thank you so much, Maestro!
