Lasst uns anbeten

Representative Text

1 Herbei, o ihr Gläub’gen,
fröhlich triumphieret,
o kommet, o kommet nach Bethlehem!
Sehet das Kindlein, uns zum Heil geboren!
O lasset uns anbeten,
o lasset uns anbeten,
o lasset uns anbeten den König!

[O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
come and behold him born, the King of angels;
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him, Christ, the Lord.]

2 Du König der Ehren, Herrscher der Heerscharen,
verschmähst nicht zu ruhen in Marien Schoß,
Gott, wahrer Gott von Ewigkeit geboren.
O lasset uns anbeten,
O lasset uns anbeten,
O lasset uns anbeten den König!

3 Kommt, singet dem Herren, singt, ihr Engelchöre!
Frohlocket, frohlocket, ihr Seligen:
"Ehre sei Gott im Himmel und auf Erden!"
O lasset uns anbeten,

Herr Jesu, sei Ehre und Preis und Ruhm,
dir, fleischgewordnes Wort des ewgen Vaters!
O lasset uns anbeten,
O lasset uns anbeten,
O lasset uns anbeten den König!
