German text

1. Herbei, o ihr Gläubigen, fröhlich triumphieret,
o kommet, o kommet nach Bethlehem!
Sehet das Kindlein, uns zum Heil geboren!
o lasset uns anbeten den König!

2. Du König der Ehren, Herrscher der Heerscharen,
verschmähst nicht, zu ruhn in Marien Schoß,
du wahrer Gott von Ewigkeit geboren.
o lasset uns anbeten den König!

3. Kommt, singet dem Herren, singt ihm, Engelchöre!
Frohlocket, frohlocket, ihr Seligen:
Ehre sei Gott im Himmel und auf Erden!
o lasset uns anbeten den König!

4. Ja, dir, der du heute Mensch für uns geboren,
Herr Jesu, sei Ehre und Preis und Ruhm,
dir, fleischgewordnes Wort des ewgen Vaters!
o lasset uns anbeten den König!

Czech text

Jdou zástupy věrných s jásotem a chválou,
my též do Betléma pospíchejme.

Vítejme Pána, Krále andělského,
Ježíši zrozenému, Ježíši zrozenému, Ježíši zrozenému zpívejme.

Od stád v krajích spících pastýři jsou zváni
k jeslím, kde spí Dítě nám slíbené.

Též s nimi spějme poklonit se Pánu,
Ježíši zrozenému, Ježíši zrozenému, Ježíši zrozenému zpívejme.

Hle, sláva věčného Tvůrce všehomíra všem nám září v úsměvu Dítěte.
Bůh mezi námi, v plenkách nemluvňátko,
Ježíši zrozenému, Ježíši zrozenému, Ježíši zrozenému zpívejme.

Bůh s námi je spřízněn, lidský úděl sdílí, jej chválami vroucími vítejme.
Láskou za lásku Pánu odpovíme,
Ježíši zrozenému, Ježíši zrozenému, Ježíši zrozenému zpívejme.
