Der Sionitin Wiegenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  SPA
Nun ich singe, Gott ich kniee,
schlaf du Wunderwunderkind,
Jesulein nimm sonder Mühe,
was mein Geist dir angezünd't,
nimm den Wiegenthron von mir,
schlaf bei solchem, meine Zier.

Schlaf, mein Seelchen, ich will holen 
Tulpen, Nelken, Amarinth, 
Tausendschönchen, Feldviolen,
schlaf du wertes Menschenkind,
allerliebstes Jesulein,
schlaf bei solchen Blumen ein.

Schlaf mein Loorbeer, schlaf mein Röschen,
schlaf mein grüner Rosmarin,
schlaf in meinem sanften Schösschen,
schlaf mein schimmrender Jasmin,
schlaf mein süßer Hyacinth,
schlaf du zarter Jungfraun Kind.

Schlaf, du Perle, schlaf mein Zaphir,
schlaf du günstiger Rubin,
schlaf mein Demant, schlaf mein Sardis,
schlaf mein heller Chrysolin,
schlaf mein Herzcarfunkelstein,
schlaf, mein Amethistchen, ein.

Schlaf mein Nectar, schlaf mein Leben,
schlaf mein süßer Alicant,
schlaf du grüner Lebensreben,
schlaf auf jedes Menschen Hand,
schlaf mein süßes Kind in Ruh,
tu die schönsten Augen zu.

Schlaf, ich will dich sanfte wiegen
und mit grünem Majoran 
bei der Ruhe dich vergnügen,
schlaf beim Hirten-Dulcian,
Erdenheiland, Gnadenthron,
schlaf Herr Jesu, Gottes Sohn.
