by Leberecht Blücher Dreves (1816 - 1870)

Nachtlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Chosen for Diff
Und wenn du kommst gegangen, 
Du große, stille Nacht, 
Uns Alle zu umfangen, 
Gottlob! dann ist's vollbracht.

Dann deckst du uns so sacht' zu 
Mit deinem Sternenschein, 
O Nacht, du ew'ge Nacht du, 
Wir harren, brich herein!
