Englenes Sang
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Enhver, der er vorden af Verden forladt, Bringe vi Trøst i den eensomme Nat. Enhver, der Dagen over maa lide, Tør vi husvale ved Midnatstide. Den Stund, da Frelse ren fødtes paa Jord. Fødtes en Trøst for den bittreste Smerte. Trøst for den, der haaber og troer, En Gjenlyd af de Saliges Chor Stiger da ned Menneskets Hjerte.

Engelgesang
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Danish (Dansk)
Dem Armen, dem niemals die Freude gelacht, Nahen wir tröstend in einsamer Nacht. In's Herz, verzehrt von nagendem Kummer, Senden wir labenden, sanften Schlummer. Herab stieg der Heiland, die Sünd'gen vom Fall Mild zu erlösen. Die bittersten Schmerzen Trug duldend er für die Leidenden all', Von sel'gen Chören ein Widerhall Beglückend zieht in der Menschen Herzen.
