Ylistäkää Jumalaa taivas ja maa! Hetki on läsnä jolloin päivä yötä kiittää seimi halpa säteilee ja armahdukses riittää aikojen taa! Kumartakaa valkeaa taivas ja maa: surun laakson halvinta ja suruisinta lasta kärsimyksen lempeätä risti-ruhtinasta Vapahtajaa! Riemuitkaatte, riemuitkaa taivas ja maa! Pimeyden kannelle tän' yönä syttyi tähti. Jokainen sen löytää, ken etsimähän lähti. Riemuitkaa!
