Nun freut euch, liebe Christen g'mein,
Und laßt uns fröhlich springen,
Daß wir getrost und all' in ein
Mit Lust und Liebe singen,
Was Gott an uns gewendet hat,
Und seine süße Wundertat;
Gar teu'r hat er's erworben.
--Martin Luther (1523)

Rejoice, dear Christians, and let us joyfully
leap and sing together with pleasure and love,
comforted by what God has done for us
and his sweet miracle.
He has gained us at a very high price.
