Wie heimlicher Weise
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie heimlicher Weise Ein Engelein leise Mit rosigen Füßen Die Erde betritt, So nahte der Morgen. Jauchzt ihm, ihr Frommen, Ein heilig Willkommen, Ein heilig Willkommen! Herz, jauchze du mit! In Ihm sei's begonnen, Der Monde und Sonnen An blauen Gezelten Des Himmels bewegt. Du, Vater, du rate! Lenke du und wende! Herr, dir in die Hände Sei Anfang und Ende, Sei alles gelegt!
W. Fortner sets stanza 1
M. Meier sets stanza 2

Pour la nouvelle année
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Comme un angelot pose avec une charmante discrétion ses pieds roses sur le sol, ainsi s'est approché le matin. Souhaitez-lui dans votre piété une jubilante et sainte bienvenue ! et sainte bienvenue ! Mon coeur, prends part à cette effervescence ! Que le commencement soit en Lui, qui met en mouvement la lune et le soleil sous la voûte d'azur du ciel ! Toi, Père, conseille-nous, mène-nous et dirige-nous ! Seigneur, que dans Tes mains soit l'alpha et l'oméga, que tout repose en paix.
