Herr Jesu Christ, den sie gekrönt mit Dornen,
Beschütze die Geburt des hier Gebor'nen.

Und alles, was geschieht in seinem Namen,
Sei dir zu Ruhm und Preis und Ehre, Amen.

Après la naissance de son fils
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Seigneur Jésus-Christ, toi qu'ils ont couronné d'épines,
Protège la naissance de ce nouveau-né,
Et si c'est ta volonté, qu'aussi sa descendance
Règne longtemps sur de royaume,
Et que tout ce qui est fait en ton nom
Le soit pour ta gloire, ta louange et ton honneur, Amen.
