Previous
Next

​Author:  Karl Bernhard Garve (1763-1841)
Composer:  Bertha Neff Wehrly, 1956 (1897-2001)

English (ACCA)
1. The heavens with God’s praise resound;
    It reaches earth’s remotest bound,
    Where’er our gaze is wended.
    Blest is the country, blest the clime,
    To which the Word of Life sublime
    Of light and truth is sended.
    Truthful, joyful,
    Heart renewing, sin subduing,
    Comfort spending,
    To the soul its glory lending.

2. Though all this world should pass away,
    The truthful Word of God will stay.
    ​It gives us bread from heaven,
    Illuminates our earthly course,
    Of strength and courage is the source.
    The humble now are given
    Knowledge, wisdom,
    Earth relenteth; faith ascendeth
    Pure, immortal,
    Out of death to heaven’s portal.

3. All honor to our Saviour’s name!
    His everlasting gospel’s fame
    Throughout the earth resoundeth.
    On angel’s wings it swiftly flies,
    With voice and accent sweetly cries,
    “Redemption now aboundeth.”
    Amen! Amen!
    Invitations to all nations
    God has given.
    ​Through Him earth is turned to heaven.

​1. Die Himmel tönen Gottes Preis, Ihn predigt jeder Erdenkreis,
Wohin der Blick sich wendet. – Doch wohl dem Lande, wohl dem Ort,
Dem Gott Sein teures Lebenswort Durch Geist und Schrift gesendet!
Richtig, Wichtig, Herzerfreuend, Trost verleihend
Sind der Seele Gottes Lehren und Befehle.
 
2. Wenn Erd und Weltkreis untergeht, Das feste Wort des Herrn besteht
Und gibt uns Himmelsspeise; Es leuchtet unserm Erdenpfad,
Gewährt dem Schwachen Kraft und Rat, Und macht die Einfalt weise.
Gutes Mutes Dringt der Glaube, Los vom Staube,
Mit dem Worte Aus dem Tod zur Lebenspforte.
 
3. Es lebe Jesu Christi Ruhm! Sein ewig’ Evangelium
Müss’ alle Welt durchtönen! Mit Engelsschwingen flieht es schon,
Ruft durch die Welt mit süßem Ton: „Lasst euch mit Gott versöhnen!“
Amen, Amen! Menschen alle, Folgt dem Schalle,
Dass die Erde Euch durch Ihn zum Himmel werde.
​Spanish


​

​​1. En las alturas dan loor
Y en elmundo alrededor.
Es Dios glorificado.
Dichoso es aquel lugar
Donde se oye predicar
Su santo evangelio.
Señor, tu voz, ¡Cuán hermoso son tus dichos
Para_el alma! solo ellos traen calma.
 
2. El mundo se terminará
Mas tu palabra quedará:
Es cual maná del cielo.
En nuestra peregrinación
También es luz, consolación,
Y gran sabiduría.
Señor, la fe, que tenemos en tu fiel
Palabra pura, trae paz que siempre dura.
 
3. ¡A Cristo gloria y honor!
El evangelio del Señor,
Conquistará el mundo.
Cual ángel por el mundo vá
Y buenas nuevas el nos dá:
Jesús pagó las culpas.
Amén, amén, escuchadle y seguidle
Por doquiera, ved su gracia verdadera.

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
