Frieden der Nacht
 (Sung text for setting by K. Reinecke)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Der Tag ist längst geschieden. --
und von dem Sternenzelt
Sinkt tiefer, heiliger Frieden 
Herab auf Haus und Feld.

Auf müde Augen linde
Legt süßen Schlaf die Nacht;
Im Kämmerlein beim Kinde
Hält Gottes Engel Wacht.

Schon hat sein Lied gesungen
Das Kindlein sanft zur Ruh';
Die Saiten sind verklungen,
Nun deckt er's leise zu.
