Du wahrer Gottes und Marien Sohn,
Du König derer Auserwählten,
Wie süß ist uns dies Lebenswort,
Nach dem die ersten Väter schon
So Jahr' als Tage zählten,
Das Gabriel mit Freuden dort
In Bethlehem verheißen!
O Süßigkeit, o Himmelsbrot,
Das weder Grab, Gefahr, noch Tod
Aus unsern Herzen reißen.

You true son of God and Mary
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
You, true son of God and Mary,
You, king of the elect,
How sweet to us is your word of life,
By which our forefathers regularly
Have counted the years as well as the days,
As Gabriel promised joyfully
There in Bethlehem!
O sweet kindness, O bread of heaven, which
Neither the grave, nor tribulation nor even death
Can remove from our hearts.
