English translation
1. To the Creator of mankind You who are sinners, Repent! Fear is fitting For those who come to worship The one who never ends, Who created us.
2. The praises of God Are sung in heaven By the angels; Why do we remain silent? Here on earth We walk in the light Of the source.
3. Let us sing three times To the one who rides the clouds, Who is terrible; Let us say: You are great, Great, great! Give us hearts That fear You.
