Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Nun ist sie erschienen' Xmas song
Haruo - here the corrections:
1. ... Darum trocknet die Thraenen [old orthography, now:] Traenen
2. ... "Glaubt und lebet" so heist's [missing s:] heisst's

REFRAIN: ... In Christo dem Retter, Ist [small i after the comma:] ist

Instead of the vowels ae, oe, ue the German keyboard has ä, ö, ü, but all persons abroad should use these solutions, since the little dots above the umlauts have originated out of a former e.
The double s in some cases is written ß, also missing on non-German keyboards. This letter is a ligature of two forms of the letter s (long and round; the name S-Z is misleading]. So you should use the double ss (the German speaking Swiss do it, too).

Congratulations for your successful search
All the best wishes for a merry Christmas and a happy new year
