Wir Christenleut, wir Christenleut,
Habn jetzund Freud,
Weil uns zu Trost ist Christus Mensch geboren,
Hat uns erlöst,
Wer sich dess tröst
Und glaubet fest, soll nicht werden verloren.

English:
Come, Christian folk, Come, Christian folk,
Your joy be spoke,
For Christ is born and men salvation bringeth.
Who to Him cleaves,
In faith believes,
Shall never die,
But life in heaven receiveth.
