Ach, lieber Herre Jesu Christ,
weil du ein Kind gewesen bist,
so gib auch diesem Kindelein
dein Gnad' und auch den Segen dein!
Ach, Jesus, Herre mein,
behüt' dies Kindelein!
 
Dein'r Engel Schar, die wohn' ihm bei,
es schlaf', es wach' und wo es sei.
das heilig Kreuz behüt es schon,
dass es besitz der Heilgen Kron
Ach Jesus, Herre mein,
behüt' dies Kindelein!
 
Nun schlaf, nun schlaf, mein Kindelein!
Jesus, der soll dein Wächter sein,
der woll, dass dir geträume wohl
und werdest aller Tugend voll!
Jesus, der Herre mein,
behüt' dies Kindelein!
 
Ein' gute Nacht und guten Tag
geb' dir, der alle Ding' vermag!
Hiemit sollst du gesegnet sein,
mein herzeliebes Kindelein!
Jesus, der Herre mein,
behüt' dies Kindelein!

Ach, Jezus Christus, lieve Heer

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Ach, Jezus Christus, lieve Heer,
Daar u een kind ook was weleer,
Geef daarom aan dit kleine kind
Genad' en zegen; 't zij bemind!
Ach Jezus, Here mijn,
Behoed dit kindje klein!
 
Uw eng'lenschaar zij hem nabij,
Of 't slaapt of waakt en waar het zij.
Het heilig kruis behoede 't gans,
Dat het bezitt' der heil'gen krans
Ach Jezus, Here mijn,
Behoed dit kindje klein!
 
Nu slaap, nu slaap, mijn kindje klein!
Heer Jezus moet jouw wachter zijn
Hij wil, dat jij fijn dromen zult
En wordt van alle deugd vervuld!
Ach Jezus, Here mijn,
Behoed dit kindje klein!
 
Een goede nacht, een goede dag,
Dat geve jou Die 't al vermag!
Daarmee moet jij gezegend zijn,
Mijn allerliefste kindje klein!
Ach Jezus, Here mijn,
Behoed dit kindje klein!
