The below translations is from a chat group friend on a completely different
subject.

I had no idea he lost his Dad today while he took his time out to do these
translations.

Hi, Mike...

I'll put the translations in red down below.

I lost my dad this morning at age 100. He was a beloved school teacher in my
hometown, so the community has begun to enfold us in its arms.

Mike

> Lobt Gott ihr Christen (Praise God, Ye Christians)
> Macht hoch die Tür (Make Wide the Door)
> Maria durch ein' Dornwald ging (Mary Went Through a Wood of Thorns)
> Nun komm der Heiden Heiland (Now Come, Savior of the Heathens)
> Nun singet und seid froh (Sing Now and Be Joyful)
> O Heiland reiß die Himmel auf (My Savior, Open Wide the Doors of Heaven)
> Was soll das bedeuten? (What Is This Supposed to Mean?)
> Wie soll ich dich empfangen (How Should I Receive Thee?)
I'm not sure whether there are parallel English carols for these German ones
or not. I don't recognize any of these titles as belonging to the basic
German Christmas repertoire.
