3. Kinderwacht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn fromme [Kindlein]1 schlafen gehn,
[Vor]2 ihrem Bett' zwei Englein stehn,
Sie decken sie zu, decken sie auf,
Decken sie zu, decken sie auf,
Die haben ein liebendes Auge darauf.
Haben ein liebendes Auge [darauf]3.

Wenn aber auf die Kindlein stehn,
Die beiden Engel schlafen gehn,
So reicht nicht mehr der Englein Macht,
Reicht nun nicht mehr der Englein Macht,
Es hält der liebe Gott selbst die Wacht,
Der liebe Gott hält selbst die Wacht.

L. Lotzbeck, 1850, page 2. This and many other editions published around this time have the typo "bei den" in stanza 2, line 2, but we have corrected it above. Some editions give the title "Fliegendes Blatt".
