-As lang's my arm.

+Alles schläft; einsam wacht
+Nur das traute heilige Paar.

+Schlafe in himmlischer Ruh!
 
-The groaning trencher there ye fill,
-Your hurdies like a distant hill,
-Your pin wad help to mend a mill
-In time o need,
-While thro your pores the dews distil
-Like amber bead.

+Gottes Sohn! O wie lacht
+Lieb´ aus deinem göttlichen Mund,
+Da schlägt uns die rettende Stund´.

-'Bethankit' hums.

-Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
-As feckless as a wither'd rash,
-His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
-His nieve a nit;
-Thro bloody flood or field to dash,
-O how unfit!
-
-But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
-The trembling earth resounds his tread,
-Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
-He'll make it whissle;
-An legs an arms, an heads will sned,
-Like taps o thrissle.
-
-Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
-And dish them out their bill o fare,
-Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
-That jaups in luggies:
-But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer,
-Gie her a Haggis
+Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!
+Hirten erst kundgemacht
+Durch der Engel Alleluja,
+Tönt es laut bei Ferne und Nah:
+Jesus der Retter ist da!
+Jesus der Retter ist da!
