Author: K. F. R.; Christoph von Schmid Hymnal: Worship in Song #86 (1996) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Hymnal Title: Worship in Song First Line: O come, little children, O come, one and all (Ihr Kinderlein, kommet, o kommet doch all!) Lyrics: English:
1 O come, little children, O come, one and all
To Bethlehem hasten and to the cow's stall.
We'll see what our Father this holiest night
Has sent to his children for joy and delight.
2 O see in his cradle in starlight full bright
See here where now streams from above a great light,
A dear little baby, a heavenly child,
More lovely than angels his smile sweet and mild.
3 See Mary and Joseph a glad vigil keep
Where cradled in hay he lies softly asleep.
In awe see the shepherds who kneel round the King;
On high angel choirs all their glad carols sing.
4 O kneel like the shepherds and like them all pray;
With hands gently holded, to God your thanks say.
Then sing and be merry, who would not rejoice"
And join with the angels your heart and your voice.
German:
1 Ihr Kinderlein, kommet, o kommet doch all!
Zur Krippe her kommet in Bethlehems Stall,
Und seht, was in dieser hochheiligen Nacht
Der Vater im Himmel für Freude uns macht.
2 O seht in der Krippe im nächtlichen Stall,
Seht hier bei des Lichtleins hellglänzendem Strahl,
In reinlichen Windeln das himmlische Kind,
Viel schöner und holder als Engel es sind.
