Advent
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Wie nun mein Herze brennt in deiner Sterne Schein! Gegrüsset sollst du sein, du seliger Advent! Die Berge stehn voll Schnee, die Häupter hoch in Pracht; voll Singen liegt die Nacht: Hosanna in der Höh! Hosanna fern und nah, in Tälern tief verschneit. Machet die Tore weit: der Herr, der Herr ist da! Allstund mein Herzenstür, sie soll dir offen sein. Eia, Christkindelein, kehre ein bei mir!
