German text
- Joseph lieber Joseph mein
- hilf mir wiegen mein Kindelein,
- Gott, der wird dein Löhner sein
- im Himmelreich, der Jungfrau Kind Maria.
- Eia, eia. Virgo Deum genuit,
- quem divina voluit clementia.
- Omnes nunc concinite,
- nato regi psallite,
- voce pia dicite:
- sit gloria Christo nostro infantulo.
- Hodie apparuit in Israel,
- quem praedixit Gabriel, est natus Rex.
- Joseph, my dear Joseph,
- help me rock my little child.
- God will recompense you
- in heaven, the Virgin Mary’s child.
- Hey, hey! The Virgin has given birth to God
- whom the divine mercy willed.
- Now let all sing together,
- sing to the newborn king,
- saying with devout voice,
- “Glory be to Christ our babe!”
- Today the one whom Gabriel predicted
- has appeared in Israel, has been born king.
