Ich danke Gott und freue mich Wie's Kind zur Weihnachtsgabe, Daß ich hier bin und daß ich dich, Schön Menschlich Antlitz! habe; Daß ich die Sonne, Berg und Meer, Und Laub und Gras kann sehen, Und Abends unterm Sternenheer Und lieben Monde gehen; ... Ich danke Gott mit Saitenspiel, Daß ich kein König worden; Ich wär geschmeichelt worden viel, Und wär vielleicht verdorben. ... Gott gebe mir nur jeden Tag, So viel ich darf zum Leben. Er giebt's dem Sperling auf dem Dach; Wie sollt' ers mir nicht geben!

Dono gràcies a Déu i estic content com un infant amb els regals de Nadal, perquè sóc aquí, i et tinc a tu, formós rostre humà. Perquè puc veure el sol, les muntanyes, el mar, el fullatge i l’herbam, i, al vespre, caminar sota la munió d’estrelles i la preciosa lluna; ... dono gràcies tocant les cordes que no he sigut mai rei; m’haguessin afalagat molt i això m’hauria corromput. ... Que Déu em doni cada dia tot el que em cal per viure. Ell ho dóna als pardals a la teulada, per què a mi no m’ho donaria!
