Wir wollen seine Krippe schmücken

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wir wollen seine Krippe schmücken 
Und bei ihm bleiben die ganze Nacht, 
Die Hände ihm küssen und drücken;  
Denn er hat uns so oft was gebracht. 

Und wir mit euch sie schmücken 
Und mit euch Tag und Nacht, 
Die Hände ihm küssen und drücken; 
Er hat uns selig gemacht!
