"Christmas, shining Christmas
Shine over white forests,
Heavenly crowns with sparkling lights,
Glimmering arcs in all of God's houses;
Hymns that are sung throughout the ages,
Eternal longing for light and peace!
Christmas, shining Christmas
Shine over white forests!
Come, come, blessed Christmas:
Lower your white wings,
Over the battlefields' blood and cries,
Over all sighing out from humans,
Over those loved ones who've gone to their rest
Over the daybreak of newborn life!
Come, come, blessed Christmas
Lower your white wings!"
(Eng. transl. M. Lowry)
