from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Nu zijt wellekome
 (Sung text for setting by K. Bikkembergs)
 Matches base text
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Nu zijt wellekome, Jesu, lieve Heer.
Gij komt van alzo hoge, van al zo veer.
Nij zijt wellekome van de hoge hemel neer.
Hier al in dit aardrijk zijt Gij gezien nooit meer.
Kyrieleis!

Christe, Kyrieleison. Laat ons zingen blij,
daarmeed'ook onze leisen beginnen vrij.
Jesus is geboren in de heilige kerstnacht
van een maged reine die hoog moet zijn geacht.
Kyrieleis!

D'herders op de velden hoorden een nieuw lied
dat Jesus was geboren, zij wisten 't niet.
Gaat aan geender straten en gij zult Hem vinden klaar.
Betlem is de stede daar 't is geschied, voorwaar.
Kyrieleis!

D'heilige Driekoongen uit zo verre land
zij zochten onze Here met offerand.
Z'offerden ootmoedlijk mir, wierook ende goud
t'ere van den Kinde dat alleding behoudt.
Kyrieleis!
