O du fröhliche Weihnachtszeit

Melodie - Sizilianische Volksweise "O Sanctissima"

Johannes Daniel Falk, 1816 (1768-1826)

O du fröhliche,
O du selige,
Gnadenbringende Weihnachtszeit.
Welt ging verloren,
Christ ward geboren,
Freue, freue dich, o Christenheit!

O du fröhliche,
O du selige,
Gnadenbringende Weihnachtszeit.
Christ ist erschienen,
Uns zu versühnen,
Freue, freue dich, o Christenheit!

O du fröhliche,
O du selige,
Gnadenbringende Weihnachtszeit.
Himmlische Heere
Jauchzen Dir Ehre,
Freue, freue dich, o Christenheit!
  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, Praise Him Christians, evermore!

O how joyfully,
O how blessedly,
Comes the glory of Christmastime!
Jesus, born in lowly stall,
With His grace redeems us all:
Praise Him, Praise Him Christians, evermore!

O how joyfully,
O how blessedly,
Comes the glory of Christmastime!
Hosts of angels from on high,
Sing, rejoicing, in the sky:
Praise Him, Praise Him Christians, evermore!
