German:
Gottes Sohn ist kommen,
Uns allen zu Frommen,
Hie auf diese Erden
In armen Geberden,
Dass er uns von Sünde
Freiet und entbinde.
--Johann Roh, 1544
English:
Once He came in blessing,
All our life redressing,
Came in likeness lowly,
Son of God Most Holy,
Bore the Cross to save us,
Hope and freedom gave us.
