Er is een jongetje geboren in Bethlehem,
in dit jaar,
Daarom verblijdt Jeruzalem zich.
Laten we in dit jaar dank betuigen,
en de Moeder vereren
met jubelend snarenspel,
Laten we de pasgeboren Christus aanbidden
met een nieuw lied.
De Zoon is vlees geworden

de allerhoogste Zoon van God de Heer,
Laten we in dit jaar, enz.
| [8] A BOY WAS BORN IN BETHLEHEM
A boy was born in Bethlehem
In this year,
And Jerusalem rejoices thereby.
Let us give thanks this year
And honour the Mother
With rejoicing sounds of strings.
Let us adore the new-born Christ
With a new song.
The Son was incarnate
In this year,
The most high Son of God the Father.
Let us give thanks etc.
