O Kerstnacht, schooner dan de daegen, <br>
Hoe kan Herodes 't licht verdraegen, <br>
Dat in uw duisternisse blinckt, <br>
En wort geviert en aengebeden? <br>
Zijn hooghmoed luistert na geen reden,v
Hoe schel die in zijn ooren klinckt. <br>
Hy pooght d'onnoosle te vernielen <br>
Door 't moorden van onnoosle zielen, <br>
En werckt een stad en landgeschrey, <br>
In Bethlehem en op den acker, <br>
en maeckt den geest van Rachel wacker,v
Die waeren gaet door beemd en wey, <br>
Dan na het westen, dan na'et oosten.<br>
Wie zal die droeve moeder troosten <br>
Nu zy haer lieve kinders derft? <br>
Nu zy die ziet in 't bloed versmooren,<br>
Aleerze naulix zijn geboren, <br>
en zoo veel zwaerden rood geverft?<br>

Lovelier than day is Christmas night:<br>
How can Herod stand the blinding light<br>
That burns through its dank gloom,<br>
Received with joy, by all adored?<br>
Reason by Herod is abhorred;<br>
His arrogance leaves it no room.<br>
He thinks to murder one baby boy<br>
If every innocent he destroy:<br>
Cries re-echo far and wide,<br>
In Bethlehem, in crofts and homes.<br>
Rachel's spirit wakes and roams<br>
All around the countryside,<br>
Now to the east and now to the west.<br>
Who can console a mother so distressed<br>
To see her children dead,<br>
Over their blood-drenched bodies to mourn,<br>
Those babes so newly born,<br>
And see all those swords dyed red?<br>

Lovelier than day is Christmas night:
How can Herod stand the blinding light
That burns through its dank gloom,
Received with joy, by all adored?
Reason by Herod is abhorred;
His arrogance leaves it no room.
He thinks to murder one baby boy
If every innocent he destroy:
Cries re-echo far and wide,
In Bethlehem, in crofts and homes.
Rachel's spirit wakes and roams
All around the countryside,
Now to the east and now to the west.
Who can console a mother so distressed
To see her children dead,
Over their blood-drenched bodies to mourn,
Those babes so newly born,
And see all those swords dyed red?
