O DU FROHLICHE
From the Latin Hymn: O Sanctissima
Refrain:
O du frohliche,
O du selige,
gnadenbringde Weihnachtsziet!
Welt ging verloren,
Christ ist gebren:
Freue, freue dich, O Christenheit!
Christ ist erschienen,
Uns zu versuhnen:
Freue, freue dich, O Christenheit!
Himmlische Heere
Jauchzen dir Ehre:
Freue, freue dich, O Christenheit!
English Translation by Johannes Falk, 1816 : O HOW JOYFULLY
Refrain:
O how joyfully,
O how blessedly,
Comes the glory of Christmastime!
To a world so lost in sin,
Christ the Savior, enters in:
Praise Him, all ye Christians, praise Him evermore!
Jesus, born in lowly stall
With His grace redeems us all:
Praise Him, all ye Christians, praise Him evermore!
Hosts of angels from on high.
Sing, rejoicing, in the sky:
Praise Him, all ye Christians, praise Him evermore!
