Tune: | LASST UNS ALLE |
1 Let us all with gladsome voice
Praise the God of heaven,
Who, to bid our hearts rejoice,
His own Son has given.
2 To this vale of tears he comes,
Here to serve in sadness,
That with him in heav'n's fair homes
We may reign in gladness.
3 We are rich, for he was poor;
Is not this a wonder?
Therefore praise God evermore
Here on earth and yonder.
4 O Lord Christ, our Savior dear,
Bless us and be near us.
Grant us now a glad new year.
Amen, Jesus, hear us!
