1.
Heiligste Nacht! Heiligste Nacht!
Finsternis weichet, es glänzet hienieden.
Harfen verbreiten den süssesten Klang.
Engel erscheinen, verkünden den Frieden,
lieblich ertönet ihr froher Gesang.
Christen, erwachet und kommet geschwind,
folget den Hirten, die eifriger sind,
eilet nach Bethlehem,
seht euer Diadem,
hier liegt das Kind.

2.
Göttliches Kind! Göttliches Kind!
Nacht ist vergangen, nun strahlt uns ein Morgen.
Gott hat sich unser in Liebe erbarmt.
Wir sind in Gnade und Güte geborgen,
Gott hat die Welt, hat die Menschen umarmt.
Geht nun zur Krippe und sehet das Kind,
sehet die Hirten, wie freudvoll sie sind.
Jubelt und singt dem Herrn,
den Welt und Himmel ehrn.
Halleluja!
