  *++Lyrics:|\\
O du fröhliche, o du selige,\\
gnadenbringende Weihnachtszeit!\\
Welt ging verloren, Christ ist geboren;\\
freue, freue dich o Christenheit!\\
\\
O du fröhliche, o du selige,\\
gnadenbringende Weihnachtszeit!\\
Himmlische Heere jauchzen dir Ehre,\\
freue, freue dich, o Christenheit!\\
\\
O du fröhliche, o du selige,\\
gnadenbringende Weihnachtszeit!\\
Christ ist erschienen, uns zu versühnen;\\
freue, freue dich, o Christenheit!\\

  *++Lyrics:|\\
O thou joyful, O thou wonderful\\
Grace revealing Christmastide!\\
Jesus came to win us\\
From all sin within us;\\
Glorify, glorify the Holy Child!\\
\\
O thou joyful, O thou wonderful\\
Love revealing Christmastide!\\
Loud hosannas singing,\\
And all praises bringing,\\
May Thy love, may Thy love with us abide.\\
\\
O thou joyful, O thou wonderful\\
Peace revealing Christmastide!\\
Darkness disappeareth,\\
God’s own light now neareth,\\
Peace and joy, peace and joy to all betide.\\
