Lovely, blessed Christmas night,
That brought happiness and light,
All the children far and near
Welcome you when you appear.

All around they look and spy,
Until sleepness shuts their eye,
But in dreams they even see,
Full of light, the Christmas tree.

And the dream of that saint night
Really came so sweet and bright,
And our Saviour dear and mild
Grants the prayer of the child.

Lovely, blessed Christmas night
That brought happiness and light,
And that mankind's songs of praise
Evermore to God will raise.
