I'd prefer getting power from solar or wind, but right now I need to pay the old dirty electric bill with your help;
it will help me to continue offering music for your enjoyment.
- Chorale Text
German:
Vom Himmel kam der Engel Schaar,
Erschien den Hirten offenbar,
Sie sagten ihn'n: ein Kindlein zart
das liegt dort in der Krippen hart.
English:
To shepherds, as they watched by night,
Appeared a troop of Angels bright;
Behold the tender babe, they said,
In yonder lowly manger laid.
--Tr. R. Massie
