The Oldest Christmas Carol of Germany (c. 990)


Sei uns willkommen Herre Christ,
der Du unser aller Herre bist,
sei uns willkommen, lieber Herre,
Hier im Erdreiche recht in Ehrern, Kyrieleys. 

Be welcome to us Lord Christ, 
for you are Lord of us all, 
Be welcome to us, beloved Lord, 
Rule here in earth's kingdom with honor. Kyrie Eleison.
