Mach das Auge zu

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mach das Auge zu, 
Schlaf in süßer Ruh. 
Horch, die Abendglocken 
Tönen schon und locken 
Unterm Abendstrahl 
Frieden in das Thal. 
Mach das Auge zu, 
Schlaf in süßer Ruh.  

Schlaf in süßer Ruh, 
Engel schauen zu. 
Engel singen leise 
Süße Schlummerweise 
In der stillen Nacht, 
Bis der Tag erwacht. 
Schlaf in süßer Ruh, 
Engel, kommt herzu.  

Engel, kommt herzu, 
Liegt mein Kind in Ruh. 
Singt von Wald und Wiese, 
Singt vom Paradiese, 
Singt vom Jesuskind 
Leise, süß und lind. 
Kommt, o kommt herzu, 
Liegt mein Kind in Ruh.
