"Es ist für uns eine Zeit angekommen" ("Unto us a time has come") is a traditional Swiss Star singers Christmas carol from the Canton of Lucerne. Lyrically, there are some regional variations.
Variants
- A secular variant of the lyrics during the Nazi time was prepared by an otherwise unknown minor Nazi-era poet Paul Hermann (1904âÂÂ1970) (no relation to the better known Jewish Hungarian cellist and composer of the same name 1902âÂÂ1944), which is more popular than the original Swiss versions.
- A text variant by Maria Wolters, dating from 1957, consists of 11 verses and re-establishes the religious content of the song.
