Original text and translations

German text 1. Nun komm der Heiden Heiland, der Jungfrauen Kind erkannt. Des sich wundert alle Welt, Gott solch Geburt ihm bestellt. 2. Er ging aus der Kammer sein, dem königlichen Saal so rein, Gott von Art und Mensch ein Held sein’n Weg er zu laufen 3. Sein Lauf kam vom Vater her und kehrt wieder zum Vater, hinubter zu der Höll wieder zu Gottes´Stuhl. 4. Dein’ Krippen glänzt hell und klar, die Nacht gibt ein neu' Licht dar. Dunkel muß nicht kommen d'rein, der Glaub’ bleibt immer im Schein. 5. Lob sei Gott dem Vater g'tan, Lob sei Gott sein'm ein'gen Sohn, Lob sei Gott dem Heilgen Geist immer und in Ewigkeit.

English translation 1. Come now, O nation's Savior, the child of the Virgin born. All the world in wonder stands: God for Him such birth commands 2. His path, from God the Father returning to the Father, He has passed into hell's deeps then back to His heav'nly seat. 3. He left His heav'nly home, left, as well, His kingly throne, God by birth, heroic man, foll’wing God the Father's plan. 4. Your manger brightly shining, the night its light refining. Let not sin becloud the light; faith, be ever shining bright. 5. Give praise to God the Father, Praise to God, His only Son, Praise the Spirit, one and three, ever and eternally!
