Erscheinung des Engels
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Fürchtet euch nicht! Denn seht,
Gott erhöret der Frommen Gebet.
Ich kündige euch ein großes Heil,
das allem Volke wird zuteil.
Die Davidsstadt ist auserkoren,
in ihr ward heute Nacht geboren
Christus, der Herr!
Alleluja!
Ein Zeichen wird es euch bekunden:
es liegt in Wickeln eingebunden
in einer Krippe ein armes Kindlein,
ein kleines, armes Kindelein.
Alleluja!
Ehre sei Gott in der Höhe,
und Friede den Menschen auf Erden,
die eines guten Willens sind.

The appearance of the angel
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Be not afraid! For lo,
God hears the prayers of the pious.
I proclaim to you a great salvation
That shall come to all people.
The City of David has been chosen,
In it this night was born
Christ the Lord!
Alleluia!
A sign shall proclaim it to you:
Wrapped in swaddling clothes,
A poor child lies in a manger.
A small, poor child.
Alleluia!
Glory be to God on high,
And peace on earth to mankind
Who are of goodwill.
