Quem pastores laudavere
Language: Multiple Languages 
Quem pastores laudavere,
Den die Hirten lobten sehre
quibus angeli dixere:
und die Engel noch viel mehre:
Absit vobis jam timere,
Fürchtet euch fürbass nicht mehre,
natus est rex gloriae,
euch ist geboren ein König der Ehr'.

Ad quem reges ambulabant,
Kön'ge kamen hergeritten,
aurum, thus, myrrham portabant,
Weihrauch, Myrrhen, Gold inmitten,
immolabant haec sincere
fielen nieder auf die Knieen,
leoni victoriae,
opferten, dem Leu'n des Siegs.

Exultemus cum Maria
Freu't euch alle mit Maria
in coelesti hierarchia,
in des Himmels Hierarchia,
natum promat voce pia
da die Engel singen alle:
laus, honor et gloria,
Lob und Ehr' sei Gott dem Herrn!

Christo regi, Deo nato,
Lobt, ihr Menschen allzugleiche,
per Mariam nobis dato,
Gottes Sohn vom Himmelreiche!
merito resonat vere
Uns zum Trost ist ergeboren,
dulci cum melodia,
singet ihm ein lieblich Lied!
