Latin.png Latin text

Ergo etiam Regem tu nondum natus adoras,
Ac digito ostendis solus et amne lavas.
Alme puer, rerum ac homimum contemtor et expers,
omnia habes, dum te nil nisi Christus habet.
O iubar, ô mundi lampas
quo scilicet uno foemina maiorem
nec tulit ulla parem.

German.png German translation

Fürwahr, noch nicht geboren betest du den König an,
und nur mit dem Finger zeigst du auf ihn und wäschst ihn im Strom.
Erhabener Knabe, Verächter von Sachen und Menschen, und frei von ihnen,
alles hast du, während dich nur Christus hat.
O Licht, o Leuchte der Welt,
denn sicherlich trug kein Weib einen Größeren
noch irgendeine einen dir Gleichen.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt
