Original Text

Das Wort ward Fleisch
und wohnet unter uns,
und wir sahen seine Herrlichkeit,
eine Herrlichkeit als des eingebornen
Sohns vom Vater,
voller Gnade und Wahrheit.

The word was made flesh
and dwelt among us,
and we beheld his glory,
a glory like that of the only begotten
Son of the Father,
full of grace and truth.
