-:::''1.''
-O hail this brightest day of days,
-All good Christian people!
-For Christ hath come upon our ways,
-Ring it from the steeple!
-Of maiden pure is He the Son;
-For every shall thy praise be sung,
-Christ's fair mother mary!
-Ever was there news so great?
-God's own Son from heaven's high state
-is born the Son of Mary!
-:::''2.''
-This day the wonderous Child is born,
-Lent to earth from heaven.
-He comes to cheer a world forlorn,
-Its heavy sin to leaven.
-So, sing ye all the glorious birth
-Which doth redeem our fallen earth,
-And works our salvation.
-Laud to thee, Child Jesus Christ!
-With mankind Thou'st kept the tryst
-Thou star of every nation.
-:::''3.''
-As from above the sun his rays
-Poureth down upon us,
-And with his glow renews our days,
-Health and life doth give us;
-E'en so the Christ Child was He sent
-A maiden's Babe, for our content,
-And for our sweet comfort,
-In a manger was He laid,
-Sinless, and yet undismayed,
-To dwell on earth among us.
-:::''4.''
-The shepherds in amaze dis stand,
-As from heaven came streaming
-Bright angels in a flaming band,
-Christ the King's birth hymning.
-O Christ the King of Kings where's He?
-False Herod raging mightily.
-Everywhere doth seek Him,
-Whom His mother Jesus dight,
-And doth slay, O wicked wight,
-The children for to catch Him.}}

-:::''1.''
-Der Tag, der ist so freudenreich
-aller Creature,
-von eier Jungfrau ist gebor'n,
-Maria du bist ausserkor'n,
-dass du Mutter wärest.
-Was geschah so wunderlich?
-Gottes Sohn vom Himmelreich,
-der ist Mensch geboren.}}
