Das neugeborne Kindelein,
Das herzeliebe Jesulein,
Bringt abermal ein neues Jahr
Der auserwählten Christenschar. |
The new-born little child,
the dearly loved little Jesus
brings once more a new year
to the chosen band of Christians. |
|
2 |
Des freuen sich die Engelein,
Die gerne um und bei uns sein,
Sie singen in den Lüften frei,
Daß Gott mit uns versöhnet sei. |
In this rejoice the angels,
who are willingly around and with us,
they sing freely in the air
that God is reconciled with us. |
|
3 |
Ist Gott versöhnt und unser Freund,
Was mag uns tun der arge Feind?
Trotz Türken, Papst und Höllen Pfort,
Das Jesulein ist unser Hort! |
If God is reconciled and our friend,
what can the evil enemy do to us?
Despite Turks,the Pope and the gates of hell,little Jesus is our stronghold. |
|
4 |
Es bringt das rechte Jubeljahr,
Was trauern wir dann immerdar?
Frisch auf, es ist itzt Singens Zeit!
Das Jesulein wendt alles Leid! |
He brings the true year of rejoicing,
why should we ever mourn?
Up quickly, it is now time to sing!
Dear little Jesus changes all suffering! |
