by Otto Jacob (Jacobi? Jakobi?) (1803 - 1855)

O, neige deine Flügel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O, neige deine Flügel
  Auf mich, du holde Nacht!
Die du das Licht der Liebe,
  Den Heiland, uns gebracht!

Die Augenlider schließe 
  Mit sanftem Kuß mir zu,
Und in die Seele gieße 
  Mir Frieden nun und Ruh! 

Laß mich das Licht nur sehen, 
  Das still in mir erglüht,
Und mich mit Kindesflehen 
  Zu dir hinüber zieht!
