Vier Kinderlieder

Song Cycle by Maria Herz (1878 - 1950)

1. Wenn die kleinen Kinder beten  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn die kleinen Kinder beten,
hören all die Sternlein zu,
und die Englein alle treten
leis' herzu auf goldnem Schuh!

Lauschen auf des Kindes Worte,
schließen tief ins Herz sie ein,
tragen durch die Himmelspforte
sie zum lieben Gott hinein.
