Let us rejoice and be glad with a shepherd's army

Let us rejoice and be glad, with a shepherd's army, ; For an angel, told new news, behold, today he was born. ; Believe me, my good friends, I trembled so, ; That I saw him, I was afraid but did not fall backwards. ; ; But the angel encouraged me, he says, do not be afraid, ; Rather, let me sing joyfully with my other friends. ; Today a new Messiah was born in the city of Bethlehem, ; He lies in a manger on straw, in a bad stable. ; ; Do you know new songs, Hansel, Ferkó knows one, ; And Istók can't sing any other. ; I also know five, five, more than fifty, ; I sing songs with Jesus, Mary, Saint Joseph.
