German:
Wir christen leut' wir christen leut' ,
Hab'n jetzund Freud,
Weil uns zu Trost ist Christus Mensch geboren,
Hat uns erlöst.

Und glaubet fest, soll nicht werden verloren.

Come Christian folk, come Christian folk,
Your joy be spoke,
For Christ is born ad man salvation bringeth.
Who to Him cleaves,
In faith believes,
Shall never die, but life in heaven receiveth.
