Still, still, still

Still, still, still, weil 's Kindlein schlafen will. Maria tut es niedersingen, ihre keusche Brust darbringen. Still, still, still, weil 's Kindlein schlafen will. Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf, mein liebes Kindlein, schlaf! Die Englein tun schön musizieren, vor dem Kripplein jubilieren. Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf, mein liebes Kindlein, schlaf! Groß, groß, groß, die Lieb' ist über groß. Gott hat den Himmelsthron verlassen und muss reisen auf den Straßen. Groß, groß, groß, die Lieb' ist übergroß Wir, wir, wir, wir rufen all' zu dir. Still, still, still, He sleeps this night so chill. The Virgin's tender arms enfolding, Warm and safe the Child are holding. Still, still, still, He sleeps this night so chill. Sleep, sleep, sleep, He lies in slumber deep. While angel hosts from heav'n come winging, Sweetest songs of joy are singing. Sleep, sleep, sleep, He lies in slumber deep. Great, great, great, love is exceedingly great. God has left the throne of heaven and must travel the roads. Great, great, great, love is exceedingly great. Up, up, up, you children of Adam! Fall all at Jesus' feet, because he atones for our sins! Up, up, up, you children of Adam! We, we, we, we all call to you: Open the kingdom of heaven for us, when we must die. We, we, we, we all call to you.[1] Or "offer their great love" ==Melody==
