Christmas-Song

Lovely, blessed Christmas night,

That brought happiness and light,

All the children far and near

Welcome you when you appear.

All around they look and spy,

Until sleepness shuts their eye,

But in dreams they even see,

Full of light, the Christmas tree.

And the dream of that saint night

Really came so sweet and bright,

And our Saviour dear and mild

Grants the prayer of the child.

Lovely, blessed Christmas night

That brought happiness and light,

And that mankind's songs of praise

Evermore to God will raise.
