Die Nacht
 (Sung text for setting by F. Abt)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Abendglocken rufen
das weite Tal zur Ruh,
die Herden von den Bergen,
sie ziehn dem Dörfchen zu.
Welch feierliches Schweigen,
die Blumen fromm sich neigen,
sie kommt in ihrer Pracht, 
die stille Nacht.

Da schmücket sich der Himmel
mit Sternen groß und klein,
da kommt der Mond gezogen
in hellem Demantschein.
Wohin ich immer spähe,
fühlt alles deine Nähe,
fühlt alles deine Macht,
o stille Nacht!

Composition:
