Still, still, still,
Weil’s Kindlein schlafen will.
Die Englein tun schön jubilieren,
Bei dem Kripplein musizieren.
Still, still, still,
Weil’s Kindlein schlafen will.

*****

Still, still, still,
my heart with joy is filled.
I’ll sing you a song and watch by your manger,
guard you from harm and keep you from danger.
Still, still, still,
my hear with joy is filled.

Sleep, sleep, sleep,
mid the oxen and the sheep.
The shepherds have come who heard the story,
angels bend low in all their glory.
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
mid the oxen and the sheep.

Still, still, still,
o sleep my holy child,
and while you sleep my voice I will raise,
to God your father sing your praise.
Sleep, sleep,sleep,
o sleep my holy child.

Merry Christmas!
