Uns leuchtet heut der Freude Schein! Auf Jubelklang! Wir grüßen den erkornen Herrn! Strömt aus in Festgesang! Wir grüßen den erkornen Herrn! Strömt aus in Festgesang! Vom Himmel kommt er zart und lind. Auf Jubelklang! Auf Blumen eingewiegt ein Kind. Strömt aus in Festgesang! Auf Blumen eingewiegt ein Kind. Strömt aus in Festgesang! Vor ewger Jugend hellem Schein. Auf Jubelklang! Sinkt alles düstre Alte ein. Strömt aus in Festgesang! Sinkt alles düstre Alte ein. Strömt aus in Festgesang! Die ganze Welt erstehet jung. Auf Jubelklang! In neuer Glaubenstaten Schwung. Strömt aus in Festgesang! In neuer Glaubenstaten Schwung. Strömt aus in Festgesang!

The glow of happiness shines for us today! Arise, sound of jubilation! We greet the chosen Lord! Stream out in festive singing! We greet the chosen Lord! Stream out in festive singing! From Heaven he comes, gentle and mild. Arise, sound of jubilation! A child rocked to sleep upon flowers. Stream out in festive singing! A child rocked to sleep upon flowers. Stream out in festive singing! Before the bright glow of eternal youth-- Arise, sound of jubilation!-- All the gloomy old things sink in upon themselves. Stream out in festive singing!
