Herre Gud
Lord God

TRANSLATION BY DR. ALF LUNDER KNUDSEN

Lord God, thy precious name and glory
shall be held in high esteem across the world,
and all the souls, the tired workers,
everyone with tongues shall praise they name.

God is God, even when all lands lay deserted
God is God, even when all men are dead,
Even when generations
grow dizzy among starry heavens,
God’s harvest is teeming.

High halls and deep valleys shall give way,
earth and heaven shall fall the same,
every mountain, every peak
shall suddenly disappear,
but just like the sun,
the Kingdom of God will appear.

God is God, even when all lands lay deserted
God is God, even when all men are dead,
Even when generations
grow dizzy among starry heavens,
God’s harvest is teeming.
