by Fanny (Franziska) von Hoffnaaß, née Jägerhuber (1831 - 1892)

Erscheinung des Engels
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Fürchtet euch nicht! Denn seht,
Gott erhöret der Frommen Gebet.
Ich kündige euch ein großes Heil,
das allem Volke wird zuteil.
Die Davidsstadt ist auserkoren,
in ihr ward heute Nacht geboren
Christus, der Herr!
Alleluja!
Ein Zeichen wird es euch bekunden:
es liegt in Wickeln eingebunden
in einer Krippe ein armes Kindlein,
ein kleines, armes Kindelein.
Alleluja!
Ehre sei Gott in der Höhe,
und Friede den Menschen auf Erden,
die eines guten Willens sind.
