by Adolf Sandberger (1864 - 1943)

Wiegenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlafe, schlafe mein Kindelein,
Schlaf' ein, schlaf' ein.
Draussen rauschen die Wässerlein
Sonder Rast noch Ruh.
So wird eilen das Leben dein
Seinem Ziele zu.
Gottes liebe Engelein
Wachen spat und fruh [sic].
Er wird dein Geleiter sein
Bleibst getreu ihm du.
Schlaf' ein, mein Kindelein,
Schlaf' ein, schlaf' ein!

Schlafe, schlafe mein Kindelein
Schlaf' ein, schlaf' ein.
Droben wandeln die Sternelein,
Leuchten hell und klar.
So erhalte das Herz dir rein
Trutz der feindlichen Schar.
Noch bewacht ein Mütterlein
Deines Hauptes Haar.
Gott nur wird stets bei dir sein
In der Bahn Gefahr.
Schlaf' ein, mein Kindelein,
Schlaf' ein, schlaf' ein!
