by Friedrich Leopold, Graf zu Stolberg-Stolberg (1750 - 1819)

Weihnachtslied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FIN
Welche Morgenröten wallen
himmelab in tiefer Nacht!
Seh' ich Sonnen Gottes fallen?
Nein, der Herre Gottes Macht
hält bei den frommen Hirten Wacht,
und des Engels Worte schallen:
"Zaget nicht! Denn große Freud'
ist euch wiederfahren heut'.

Christus ward uns heut geboren,
euer Heiland, euer Herr!
Davids Stadt hat er erkoren,
und in Windeln lieget Er,
in der Krippe liegt der Herr!
Jedem Volk ward er geboren."
Hochgelobet in der Zeit!
Hochgelobt in Ewigkeit!

Ach, was können wir dir bringen,
dir dem Herrn der Herrlichkeit?
Unsre Liebe soll dir singen,
dir sei unser Herz geweiht,
unser Wille dir bereit!
Gieb zum Wollen das Vollbringen,
laß uns dein sein in der Zeit,
dein, o Herr, in Ewigkeit.
