　　　　　　　　　　　　　　in Musik gesetzt von  Beethoven　 베토벤 작곡
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Dem Grafen Browne gewidmet.　  브라운 백작에게 바침(헌정)

Op. 48

독일 새사도 교회(Neuapostolische Kirche) 성가대

　1803년경의 작품으로 추정되며 "하늘은 영원한 자의 영광을 찬양하고…"로 시작하여 신에 대한 외경(畏敬)과 찬양의 뜻을 나타내고 있다. 작품번호 48은 〈기도〉〈이웃의 사랑〉 〈죽음을 노래하여〉 〈자연에 있어서의 신의 영광〉 〈신의 힘과 섭리〉 〈참회의 노래〉로 이루어졌다. 이는 《먼 곳의 애인에게》, 그리고 애인을 찬양한 가곡 《아델라이데》 등과 더불어 베토벤의 가곡을 대표하는 작품의 하나이다.

1 Die Himmel rühmen des Ewigen Ehre,  　ihr Schall pflanzt seinen Namen fort.   　Ihn rühmt der Erdkreis, Ihn preisen die Meere,   　vernimm, o Mensch, ihr göttlich Wort! ························································································ 2  Wer trägt der Himmel unzählbare Sterne?  　Wer führt die Sonn' aus ihrem Zelt?  　Sie kommt und leuchtet und lacht uns von ferne,  　und läuft den Weg gleich als ein Held. ························································································ 3  Vernimm's, und siehe die Wunder der Werke 　die die Natur dir aufgestellt! 　Verkündigt Weisheit und Ordnung und Stärke 　dir nicht den Herrn, den Herrn der Welt? ························································································ 4  Kannst du der Wesen unzählbare Heere, 　den kleinsten Staub fühllos beschaun? 　Durch wen ist alles? O gib ihm die Ehre! 　Mir, ruft der Herr, sollst du vertraun. ························································································ 5  Mein ist die Kraft, mein ist Himmel und Erde, 　an meinen Werken kennst du mich. 　Ich bin's, und werde sein, der ich sein werde, 　dein Gott und Vater ewiglich. ························································································ 6  Ich bin dein Schöpfer, bin Weisheit und Güte, 　ein Gott der Ordnung und dein Heil; 　Ich bin's! Mich liebe von ganzem Gemüte 　und nimm an meiner Gnade teil.

Heaven praises the glory of Eternity;  its roar proclaims his name.  The earth praises Him, the seas praise Him;  listen, o man, to their divine words!  ························································································  Who supports the uncountable stars of heaven?  Who guides the sun from its canopy?  It comes and shines, and laughs at us from afar,  and runs its course like a hero.  ························································································  Listen and observe the wunders of the works  that Nature has established for you!  Do not wisdom, order and fortitude  announce to you the Lord, the Lord of the World?  ························································································  Can you imagine the nature of countless beings,  the most insignificant dust, without feeling?  From whom did it all arise? O give him honor!  The Lord calls, "On me you shall rely."  ························································································  Mine is the strength, mine is Heaven and Earth;  you know me by my works.  I am, and shall be, that which I shall be:  your God and Father eternal.  ························································································  I am your Creator; I am wisdom and goodness,  a god of order and of your salvation.  I am that! Love me with your entire self,  and partake of my graciousness.
