While by my sheep I watched at night,
Glad tidings brought an angel bright:

How great my joy, great my joy,
Joy, joy joy,
Joy, joy joy,
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high.
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high.

There shall be born, so He did say,
In Bethlehem a Child today:

There shall He lie in manger mean,
Who shall redeem the world from sin:

This gift of God we'll cherish well,
That ever joy my heart shall fill.

Lord, evermore to me be nigh,
Then shall my heart be filled with joy!

Friedrich Spee (1591-1635)

1. Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht',
ein Engel mir die Botschaft bracht.
Des bin ich froh (bin ich froh), froh, froh, froh (froh, froh, froh),
benedicamus Domino (benedicamus Domino).

2. Er sprach:"Der Heiland Jesus Christ
zu Bethlehem geboren ist!"
Des bin ich froh...

3. Er sagt, das Kind läg da im Stall
und sollt die Welt erlösen all.
Des bin ich froh...
