	Story Behind the Song One of Bach's miscellaneous chorale settings. Lyrics German: Der Tag, der ist so freudenreich Aller Kreature, Den Gottes Sohn vom Himmelreich Über die Nature Von einer Jungfrau ist geborn, Maria du bist ausserkorn, Dass du Mutter wärest. Was geschah so wunderlich? Gottes Sohn vom Himmelreich, Der ist Mensch geboren. --15th century translation of 14th century Dies est laetitiae English: O hail this brightest day of days, All good Christian people! For Christ is come upon our ways, Ring it from the steeple! Of maiden pure He is the Son; For ever shall thy praise be sung, Christ's fair Mother Mary! Ever was there news so great? God's own Son from heaven's high state Is born the Son of Mary! --Tr. C.S. Terr
