by Heinrich von Laufenberg (c1390 - 1460)

Ein Kind geboren zu Bethlehem
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Kind geborn zu Bethlehem, - Betlehem;
des freuet sich Jerusalem,
Halleluja, halleluja.

Hier liegt es in dem Krippelein, - Krippelein;
ohn' Ende ist die Herrschaft sein.
Halleluja, halleluja.

Die König' aus Saba kamen her, - kamen her;
Gold, Weihrauch, Myrrhe brachten sie dar.
Halleluja, halleluja.

Sie gingen in das Haus hinein, - Haus hinein
und grüßten das Kind und die Mutter sein.
Halleluja, halleluja

Sie fielen nieder auf ihre Knie, - ihre Knie
und sprachen: "Gott und Mensch ist hie".
Halleluja, halleluja.

Für solche gnadenreiche Zeit, - reiche Zeit,
sei Gott gelobt in Ewigkeit.
Halleluja, halleluja
