Our translations:  DUT ENG FRE
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!
