::::''1.''
:Behold the great Creator makes
:himself a house of clay,
:a robe of virgin flesh he takes
:which he will wear for ay.
 
::::''2.''
:Hark, hark, the wise eternal Word,
:like a weak infant cries!
:In form of servant is the Lord,
:and God in cradle lies.
 
::::''3.''
:This wonder struck the world amazed,
:it shook the starry frame;
:squadrons of spirits stood and gazed,
:then down in troops they came.
 
::::''4.''
:Glad shepherds ran to view this sight;
:a choir of angels sings,
:and eastern sages with delight
:adore this King of kings.
 
::::''5.''
:Join then all hearts that are not stone,
:and all our voices prove,
:to celebrate this holy One,
:the God of peace and love.
 
'''Lyrics:''' Thomas Pestel (ca. 1586-1660), 1639
