Ihr Kinderlein kommet English translation
von Michelle

O come, little children
O come, one and all
To Bethlehem's stable
In Bethlehem's stall

And see what in this
Most holy of nights
The Father in heaven
For joy now delights

O see in the manger
In night’s humble stall
See here by the light’s
Bright shining call


In clean swaddling clothes
The heavenly child
Much fairer and dearer
Than angels so mild

There lies the small child
On hay and on straw
Mary and Joseph
Are gazing in awe

The honest shepherds
Kneel praying before
High above joyfully
The angels' choir soar

O bow like the shepherds
Adore on your knee
Lift hands in thanksgiving
And joyous praise be


Sing joyfully, children
Who wouldn’t be glad?
Join in with the angels
In joyous accord
