1.
Freu' dich, Erd' und Sternenzelt, Halleluja!
Gottes Sohn kommt in die Welt, Halleluja!
uns zum Heil erkoren,
ward er heut' geboren, heute uns geboren!
2.
Seht, der schönsten Rose Flor, Halleluja!
sprießt aus Jesses Zweig hervor! Halleluja!

About Freu' dich, Erd' und Sternenzelt
This joyful German Christmas carol rejoices in the birth of Christ. The text paints a vibrant scene of celebration, proclaiming that God's Son has come into the world for our salvation. It compares the newborn Jesus to a beautiful rose blooming from Jesse's lineage and to the divine Word made flesh, our protector. Carl Riedel's setting for SATB choir captures this exultant spirit, making it a fitting choice to convey the profound message of Christmas with warmth and devotion. The repeated 'Halleluja' adds to the festive and sacred atmosphere of the piece.
