Liszt: "Christus ist geboren," S.31/1

No good recordings anywhere, but here's a translation:

Aeolsharfen, tönt es wieder,
Zephirwinde, säuselt's lauter,
Glockenklänge, kündet's heller, allern schwerbelad'nen Sündern:
Christus ist geboren,
Christus ist geboren.

The Aeolian harp, it sounds again,
Zephyr-winds whisper louder,
Bell-rings announce it brighter,
To all the heavy-burdened sinners:
Christ is born,
Christ is born.

Walker: "Love Came Down at Christmas"
