Dieser kann und will uns heben Aus dem Leid in’s Himmels Freud’. 4 Seine Seel’ ist uns gewogen, Lieb’ und Gunst hat ihn gezogen, Uns, die Satanas betrogen, Zu besuchen aus der Höh’. 5 Jakobs Stern ist aufgegangen, Stillt das sehnliche Verlangen, Bricht den Kopf der alten Schlange Und zerstört der Hölle Reich. 6 Unser Kerker, da wir saßen Und mit Sorgen ohne Maßen Uns das Herze selbst abfraßen, Ist entzwei, und wir sind frei. 7 O du hochgesegn’te Stunde, Da wir das von Herzensgrunde Glauben und mit unserm Munde Danken dir, o Jesulein! 8 Schönstes Kindlein in dem Stalle, Sei uns freundlich, bring uns alle Dahin, wo mit süßem Schalle Dich der Engel Heer erhöht!
