Der Befehl des König Herodes [English translation]

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

He who is born from the Holy Spirit

Will be recognized by a star

By the wise men of the East

It will shine over the son of man

When King Herod heard that, he was afraid, and so was the whole land.

Filled with rage, he sent his army out to kill

All the sons who were younger that two years.

Weeping and howling pervade the land.

But those who lived in heaven

Laughed at him, and the Lord mocked him

For the son of man would not be captured

The throne has stood since the beginning of time

The son alone is worthy

From eternity to eternity

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

He who is born from the Holy Spirit

Will be recognized by a star

By the wise men of the East

It will shine over the son of man
