Jesus was born tonight and the world does not feel it,
And the people, and the inhabitants, and Herod the king.

And there where Christ touched, a golden tree came forth,
Gold tree, gold branch, gold pearl.

The tree was Christ, the branches were the apostles,
And his little gillyflowers were the prophets,

Who prophesied and told of the sufferings of Christ,
And we have prayed to Christ, Christ preserve us.

As there are stars in the sky and leaves on the trees,
So much goodness shall Lord gives to this landlord.
