Es ist für uns eine Zeit angekommen (Unto us a time has come) is a traditional Swiss Star Boys' singers Christmas carol from the Canton of Lucerne. Lyrically, there are some regional variations. The text below offers the original lyrics.
A secular variant of the lyrics during the Nazi time has been prepared by Nazi poet Paul Hermann (1904–1970), which is still reprinted in some German songbooks, including the popular Mundorgel of the YMCA's German section. A text variant by Maria Wolters, dating from 1957, consists of 11 verses and re-establishes the religious content of the song.
