"Zu Bethlehem geboren" is a German Christmas carol. The text is attributed to Friedrich Spee and was first printed in the collection Geistlichen Psälterlein (Little sacred psalter) by Johannes Heringsdorf in Cologne in 1637.[1] The author was unknown until the 20th century, but research of style and content arrived at the attribution.[2] The song was printed with a then-popular secular melody in 1638. The song appears in current Catholic and Protestant hymnals.
