Weihnachtslied
 (Sung text for setting by F. Mendelssohn)
 See base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Auf, schicke dich,
recht feierlich
des Heilands Fest mit Danken zu begehen!
Lieb ist der Dank,
der Lobgesang,
durch den wir ihn, den Gott der Lieb, erhöhen.

Sprich dankbar froh:
Gott hat also die Welt in seinem Sohn geliebet!
O, wer bin ich,
Herr, dass du mich
so herrlich hoch in deinem Sohn geliebet?

 ...
