The most popular English translation of that hymn is “From Heav’n Above to Earth I Come” by Catherine Winkworth, but there are others that have been attempted over the centuries. Mine is just the latest one, as of the time of this post.
My favorite hymn, finishing off 2018, is Martin Luther’s “Vom Himmel Hoch, Da Komm Ich Her”. It’s a neat hymn that is written in the form of role playing around the story of the first Christmas. Luther intended one adult to dress up like an angel to sing the first verses, and for a group of children to sing the rest of the verses in a church service. I liked the hymn so much that I attempted my own translation into English and performance thereof, all by myself. Even though the performance didn’t turn out optimally, it was still a fun endeavor. Here is the link to my performance attempt:
Since this thread is called “stalking”, I took the liberty of looking up when Franklin’s YouTube channel started. May 13, 2015 was both when the channel started and the first video was uploaded.

The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep
If you were to text a spelling-conscious pirate that you needed more threat in order to complete a cosplay costume of his pirate outfit, what would he text back?
He would text thee: “Arrrrgh! You meant ‘thread’.”
