by Carl Siebel (1836 - 1868)

Christkindchen kommt zu uns ins Haus!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Christkindchen kommt zu uns ins Haus!
Nicht wahr, lieb Mütterlein?
Dann zieh' [dies]1 alte Kleid ich aus
und mach' mich schön und fein.

Und wenn mit dir es kommt, Mama,
will ich nicht bange sein!
So steh' ich vor ihm artig da
und sag': "Lieb Christkindlein!"

Und wenn's mich fragt, was ich nicht weiß,
so darf's nicht böse sein;
dann sag' ich ihm ganz lieb und leis': 
"Frag' mein gut Mütterlein!"
