Angels We Have Heard On High - Lincoln Brewster translation in German

Angels We Have Heard On High

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing over the plains
And the mountains in reply,
Echoing their joyous strains.
Glo-ori-a
In excelsis de-o

Shepherds, why this Jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord,
The newborn King

See Him in a manger laid
Jesus, Lord of heaven and earth!
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
With us sing our Savior's birth.

Hört, der Engel helle Lieder

Hört, der Engel helle Lieder
klingen das weite Feld entlang,
und die Berge hallen wider
von des Himmels Lobgesang.

Hirten, sagt, was ist die Freude?
Was erweckt euch also sehr?
Welche holde Jubelkunde
tönt in süßer Engelswehr?

Kommt nach Bethlehem geschwind,
seht das liebe Jesuskind!
Kommt, betet an auf Knien gebeugt,
Christus, den Herrn,
den neugebornen König.

singt mit uns des Heilands Geburt.
