This song is one of the songs of praise. It does not report on the actual event of the birth of Jesus Christ, but calls for praise and thanksgiving to God and the child in the manger. The song is included in the Strasbourg Hymnal, published in 1697. This used numerous medieval melodies especially for its songs at Christmas.
1. Rejoice heaven, rejoice earth;
enjoy everything that can become happy.
On earth below, in heaven above:
the kind father we want to praise.
2. Earth, water, air, fire and heavenly flames,
you humans and angels, all agree:
On earth below, in heaven above:
the child in the manger, we want to praise him.
