Lof sy dat soete kindeken cleyn,
Puer ende reyn, puer ende reyn,
Gedaelt uyt 's hemels vaders schoot,
Om ons te geven,
Het eeuwich leven,
Door 't 's hemels broot.
Schept vreucht en deucht met herten reyn,
Ons is geboren, 
den uytvercoren,
In't s'weerelts pleyn.

Verblijt u nu alle ghemeyn,
Groot ende cleyn, groot ende cleyn,
En maeckt u nu van sonden reyn,
Ons wort gheboren,
Den uytvercoren,
In't s'weerelts pleyn.
Schept vreucht en deucht met herten reyn,
Ons is geboren, 
den uytvercoren,
In't s'weerelts pleyn.

Lob sei dem süßen Kindelein

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Dutch (Nederlands)

Lob sei dem süßen Kindelein
unschuldig, rein, unschuldig, rein,
herab aus Himmelvaters Schoß,
um uns zu geben
das ewig Leben
durchs Himmelsbrot.
Schöpft Freud und seid im Herzen rein,
uns ist geboren 
der auserkoren
der Welt wird sein.

Seid fröhlich alle, stimmet ein,
ob groß, ob klein, ob groß, ob klein
und macht euch nun von Sünden rein,
uns ward geboren
der auserkoren
der Welt wird sein.
Schöpft Freud und seid im Herzen rein,
uns ward geboren
der auserkoren
der Welt wird sein.
