Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- While their flocks the shepherds tended,
- Heav'nly Hosts to earth descended,
- Singing, with all voices blended,
- "Fear not, Christ is born today."
- 2.
- Eastern Seers rich gifts had wroght Him,
- Gold, frankincense, myrr, they brought Him,
- Guided by a Star they sought Him,
- Prince of Life and Victory.
- 3.
- On the Child with Mary gazing,
- Join ye Christians all in raising
- Songs to Him, Whom Heav'n is praising.
- God incarnate come to men.
- 4.
- From this day's first dawn to even,
- Praise to Christ our King be given
- By all Earth, and all in Heaven,
- In our sweetest, loftiest strain
Lyrics: 14th Century German Traditional text.
