German.png German text

Lobt Gott, ihr Christen, alle gleich
in seinem höchsten Thron,
der heut schleußt auf sein Himmelreich
und schenkt uns seinen Sohn.

Er kommt aus seines Vaters Schoß
und wird ein Kindlein klein,
er liegt dor elend nackt und bloß
in einem Krippelein.

Er äußert sich all seiner Gwalt,
wird niedrig und gering
und nimmt an sich eins Knechts Gestalt,
der Schöpfer aller Ding.

Heut schleußt er wieder auf die Tür
zum schönen Paradeis.
Der Cherub steht nicht mehr dafür
Gott sei Lob Ehr und Preis.

Praise God, ye Christians, all together
In his highest throne,
Who today unlocks his kingdom
And gives us His Son.

He comes from his father's lap
and becomes a small infant,
thus he lies miserable, naked and helpless
in a manger.

He exchanged all his power,
becoming poor and low
and assumes the shape of a servant,
the Creator of all things.

Today he again unlocks the door
to the beautiful paradise.
The cherub no longer bars the way.
To God be praise, honor and glory.
