The lyrics to Regensburger Domspatzen's song "Herbei o ihr Gläubigen" are a call to believers to come and celebrate the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. The first verse, which is sung in Latin, translates to "Come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant; Come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem. Come and behold him, born the King of Angels." The second verse, which is sung in German, is a more direct call to come and worship the infant Jesus, who was born for the salvation of all humanity. The repetition of the phrase "O lasset uns anbeten" (Let us adore) emphasizes the importance of worship and the powerful message of salvation that the birth of Jesus represents.
The song is a classic hymn that has been celebrated for centuries throughout the Christian world. Its words and melody evoke a deep sense of reverence and joy, and it has been performed and recorded by countless artists over the years. The lyrics are a timeless reminder of the true meaning of Christmas and the enduring importance of faith and worship in our lives.
