Leise rieselt der Schnee
Language: German (Deutsch)
Chosen for Diff
Leise rieselt der Schnee, Still und starr liegt der See, Weihnachtlich glänzet der Wald: Freue Dich, Christkind kommt bald. In den Herzen ist’s warm, Still schweigt Kummer und Harm, Sorge des Lebens verhallt: Freue Dich, Christkind kommt bald. Bald ist heilige Nacht; Chor der Engel erwacht; Horch’ nur, wie lieblich es schallt: Freue Dich, Christkind kommt bald.
