by Friedrich Adolf Krummacher (1768 - 1845)

O Vater, sieh mit Wohlgefallen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O Vater, sieh mit Wohlgefallen 
Das Kindlein an, das wir dir weih'n! 
Und laß der Unschuld frommes Lallen
Dir Lobgesang und Psalter sein! 
Ja! Amen, Vater es ist dein! 

O Hirt voll Liebe und Erbarmen
Nimm dieses fromme Schäflein ein, 
Und laß in deiner Liebe Armen 
Es immer wohl bewahret sein! 
Ja, Amen! Jesus es ist dein! 

O Geist des Lichtes und der Wahrheit 
Erfülle du mit sanftem Schein 
Des Kindes Herz; laß deine Klarheit 
Im Pilgerthal sein Leitstern sein! 
Ja, Geist der Wahrheit, es ist dein!
