Original Text

Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ,
daß du Mensch geboren bist
von einer Jungfrau, das ist wahr,
des freuet sich der Engelschaar:
Kyrioleis.

Das hat er alles uns getan,
seine große Lieb zu zeigen an,
des freuen sich alle Christenheit,
und dank ihm des in Ewigkeit.
Kyrioleis.

English Translation

All praise to you, Jesus Christ,
that you were born a human,
and by a virgin indeed!
Therefore the heavenly host rejoice:
Hail to the king!

All this he has done for us
to show his great love.
Let all christendom rejoice
and give Him thanks forevermore.
Hail to the king!


This piece was performed by the SFBC in In dulci jubilo! Joyous music of Michael Prætorius on December 9, 1995, and in Singet, Jubilieret! A Candlelight Christmas Concert on December 12, 1998.
