by Cyriakus Schneegaß (1546 - 1597)

Das neugeborne Kindelein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das neugeborne Kindelein,
Das herzeliebe Jesulein,
Bringt abermal ein neues Jahr
Der auserwählten Christenschar.

Des freuen sich die Engelein,
Die gerne um und bei uns sein,
[Sie]1 singen in den Lüften frei,
Daß Gott mit uns versöhnet sei.

Ist Gott versöhnt und unser Freund,
Was [mag]2 uns tun der arge Feind?
Trotz [Türken, Papst]3 und Höllen Pfort,
Das Jesulein ist unser Hort!

Es bringt das rechte Jubeljahr,
Was trauern wir dann immerdar?
Frisch auf, [es ist itzt]4 Singens Zeit!
Das Jesulein wendt alles Leid!
