Sei, lieber Tag, willkommen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Sei, lieber Tag, willkommen,
willkommen sei du heut!
Heut freuen sich die Frommen,
die Frommen, die allzeit,
allzeit den großen Gott,
Gott, ihren Schöpfer, loben,
ihn loben hoch dort oben,
erlöst aus aller Not.

Denn an dem Tage brachte
der liebste Gottessohn,
was Freude bei uns machte,
aus seinem Himmelsthron:
Ein schönes neues Jahr,
Glück, Heil und allen Segen
zu Wegen und zu Stegen
der ganzen Christenschar!

Drum kommt, ihr Christenbrüder,
kommt her an diesem Tag,
kommt, fallt für Jesu nieder,
damit es euch behag!
Kommt, dankt und bittet ihn,
daß er in diesem Jahre
euch väterlich bewahre
und tue wie vorhin!

Laßt eure Stimmen hören,
laßt klingen Saiten drein,
lobt ihn mit vollen Chören,
laßt alles frölich sein!
Singt, singet eurem Gott,
singt, lobet, danket, betet,
vor euren Jesu tretet,
er schützt vor Not und Tod!

Bienvenue, cher jour
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Bienvenue, cher jour,
bienvenue aujourd'hui !
Aujourd'hui les hommes pieux se réjouissent,
par les hommes pieux, toujours,
toujours le grand Dieu,
Dieu, leur créateur, est loué,
est loué, lui, là-haut,
qui délivre de toute peine.

Car en ce jour fut apporté
par le fils bien-aimé de Dieu
ce qui nous donne de la joie
depuis son trône céleste :
Une belle nouvelle année,
Bonheur, salut et toutes les bénédictions
sur les chemins et les ponts
à tous les chrétiens !

Donc venez, frères chrétiens,
venez ici en ce jour,
venez, prosternez-vous devant Jésus,
pour vous sentir bien !
Venez, remerciez-le et priez-le,
qu'en ce jour il
veille sur vous paternellement
et agisse comme auparavant !

Faites entendre vos voix,
faites résonner les cordes,
louez-le avec des grands chœurs,
faites que tout soit joyeux !
Chantez, chantez votre Dieu,
chantez, louez, remerciez, priez,
allez devant votre Jésus,
il protège de la peine et de la mort !
