For the Honour of the Creator

For the Honour of the Creator

we sing this hymn of thankfulness,

For he brings us everything good

and gives us shelter forever!

He, Father, full of love

always takes care of his own

and all this skillfully

he rules from out there, his Heaven.

He regulates the weather and winds

and smoothens the waves

and also makes cold nights go away

to make the corn grow.

He will lead us to happiness,

if we follow his guidance.

How deep is this love

can it ever be discovered?

So, thank you Lord in Heaven

for having brought us Your gifts

and as salary for our work and trouble

again You gave us pure bread.

Let it be, that willingly

we also take care of the poor,

and with our hearts and tongues

we will forever thank you.
