Ein grosse Frewd verkündig ich by Georg Vogler — Lyrics
Ein grosse Frewd verkündig euch,
und all'n Völkern auff Erdenreich,
O Christ, wach auff, steh' auff und lauff,
zum Kindl, zum Krippl, zum Mütterlein, lauff!

About Ein grosse Frewd verkündig ich
This German hymn celebrates the joyous news of Christ's birth. It calls for immediate response, urging listeners to awaken and hasten to the infant Jesus, his mother, and the manger. The text emphasizes that heaven and earth are filled with joy at this event, encouraging everyone to join the shepherds in welcoming the world's saviour. Georg Vogler's setting for two-part choir (soprano and bass) would be particularly effective during the Christmas season, bringing a sense of communal celebration and devotion to the Nativity story.
