Der Heiland ist geboren by Martin Böttger — Lyrics
1. Der Heiland ist geboren,
freu dich, o Christenheit,
sonst wärn wir gar verloren
in alle Ewigkeit!
Refrain:
Freut euch von Herzen, ihr Christen all,
Kommt her zum Kindlein in dem Stall.
2. Das Kindlein auserkoren,
freu dich, o Christenheit,

About Der Heiland ist geboren
This German carol celebrates the birth of Christ, urging Christendom to rejoice. The text emphasizes that without this divine intervention, humanity would have been eternally lost. The SATB choir can convey the profound joy and spiritual significance of this event. The lyrics speak of the chosen child born in the stable, bringing happiness to heaven and earth, and echo the angelic announcement of good news and great gladness. It is a fitting anthem for Christmas services, bringing a message of hope and salvation to the congregation.
