TRANSLATIONS Saul, Saul, was verfolgst du mich?

Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?

It will be hard for you to kick against the stings.

Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?

Jauchzet dem Herren Show yourselves joyful to the Lord, Sing, rejoice, give thanks.

Praise ye the Lord on the harp, Sing psalms to him with praises.

Praise him with cymbals and dances.

Praise him with viols and sweet pipes.

And with trumpets, and with shawms also, Sing unto the Lord, the King of Kings.

Worship the Lord, O ye heavens, And on earth be ye joyful, Be ye glad, yea seas and all therein.

Worship the Lord, all ye nations, Sing ye his praises, ye people, For all his truth and goodness are before us now Forevermore. Alleluia.

Herr, nun lässest du deinen Diener (Choir) Lord, now let thy servant go in peace.

As Thou hast told me, For my own eyes have witnessed thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared for us.

For all the people, A Light to enlighten the nation, And the joy that thou givest Israel.

(Soli) Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, Blessed are they who die in the Lord, They rest now from all their labors And their works follow after them.

Blessed are they who die in the Lord’s keeping, For no pain shall come to them.
