Hört, es klingt vom Himmelszelt

Listen, it sounds from the heavenly canopy
When all hope was lost in the dark of the world,
In the stable of Bethlehem,
The star of love arose.

Chorus
Listen, it sounds from the heavenly canopy,
The song of Christianity,
The song of peace in the world,
For it is Christmas time.
Listen to the song that never fades
In a world full of pain,
That brings love to every heart,
For it is Christmas time.

The shepherds saw in the heavenly canopy
The bright, shining star.
The day of glory
On earth was not far away.

Chorus

The child who slept in the manger,
Lay in a bright light.
And softly called the angel choir
All the shepherds inside.

Chorus
