by (Carl Friedrich) Julius Altmann (1814 - 1873)

Engelgrüsse
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sieh doch, wie die lieben Sterne 
Glühen gar so feierlich! 
Aus der weiten Himmelsferne
Schau'n die Englein auch auf dich. 

Sieh doch, wie so schön da droben 
Wie so hell der Himmel flammt! 
O die lieben Englein oben 
Nicken zu dir allesamt.  

Sieh doch, wie die Funken springen, 
Leuchtend aus der Sterne Reih'n! 
Grüße wollen sie dir bringen 
Von den lieben Engelein.
