En natus est Emanuel, Dominus,
quem praedixit Gabriel, Dominus,
Dominus Salvator noster est.

Hic jacet in praesepio, Dominus,
puer admirabilis, Dominus,
Dominus Salvator noster est.

Haec lux est orta hodie, Dominus,
Ex Maria Virgine, Dominus.
Dominus Salvator noster est.

German.png German translation

Geborn ist der Emanuel, der Herr Christ,
Als verfündigt Gabriel, der Herr Christ,
Der Herr Christ, der unser Heiland ist.

Hier liegt es in dem Krippelein, der Herr Christ,
Doch ist Gott diss Kindelein, der Herr Christ,
Der Herr Christ, der unser Heiland ist.

Es leuchtet uns ein heller schein, der Herr Christ,
Von Mari der Jungfrau rein, der Herr Christ,
Der Herr Christ, der unser Heiland ist.

Translation by Unknown (Praetorius, 1609)
German.png German translation

Seht, geboren ist Emmanuel, der Herr,
Den Gabriel verheißen hat, der Herr,
Der Herr ist unser Erlöser.

Hier liegt er in der Krippe, der Herr,
Ein wunderbarer Knabe, der Herr,
Der Herr ist unser Erlöser.

Dieses Licht ist heute aufgegangen, der Herr,
Aus der Jungfrau Maria, der Herr,
Der Herr ist unser Erlöser.

Translation by Peter Rottländer
