Help translate German book page
« on: October 24, 2013, 01:23:40 pm »
I'm trying to translate the first page of an old book. I was hoping someone is better with German(if that's what it is) and could help. I'm having trouble figuring out the letters with the fancy script. Thanks for the help!

Something about new hymns for public (?) use

Google text translation says

" New Community Hymns, for the liturgical use of the Lutheran and Reformed church in North America "

Translation of first hymn

1 If I, O Creator! your power,
The wisdom of your routes,
The love that watches for everyone
Adoring wonder:
So I know of bewumd'rung full,
Not know how to raise you,
My God, my Lord and Father!

2 My eye sees where it looks,
The wonder of your works.
The sky magnificently decorated,
Preis't you, you God of strength!
Who has the Sundays' increased in him?
Who dresses them with majesty?
Who calls the army of stars?

3 Who has measured the winds its course?
Who is raining, the sky?
Who closes the shot on the earth,
With Vorrath to bless us?
O God of power and glory!
God, your kindness reaches as far
As far as the clouds reach.

4 You preach sunshine and storm!
You preis't the sand on the seas.
Brings calls even the smallest worm,
Bring honor my Creator!
Me calling the tree in its splendor,
Me, calls the sowing, God has made:
Bring honor our Maker!

5 The human, a suffering, to your hand
So wonderfully prepared;
The human being, a spirit, to be understood,
To know you, forwarded:
The human being, the glorious creation and award,
Is a daily proof
Of your amicable 'and size.

6 Uplifting 'forever, O my spirit him
Lift up his name!
God our Father is, gepreis't,
And all the world say 'Amen!
And all the world Fürcht 'their Lord,
And hope 'to him and serve it gladly!
Who did not want to serve God!

Very moving  ;D
