Music:   Austrian -Salzburg Melody
Arranger:   R. Mather

Words:   Austrian (German and English)
     Still, still, still,
Weil's Kindlein schlafen will.
Die Englein tun schön jubilieren,
Bei dem Kripplein musizieren.
     Still, still, still,
Weil's Kindlein schlafen will.

     Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf,
Mein liebes Kindlein schlaf!
Maria tut dich niedersingen
Und ihr treues Herz darbringen.
     Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf,
Mein liebes Kindlein schlaf!

     Groß, groß, groß
Die Lieb ist übergroß!
Gott hat den Himmelsthron verlassen
Und muss reisen auf der Straßen.
     Groß, groß, groß
Die Lieb' ist übergroß.

     Auf, auf, auf,
Ihr Adamskinder auf!
Fallet Jesum all zu Füßen,
Weil er für uns d'Sünd tut büßen!
     Auf, auf, auf,
Ihr Adamskinder auf!

     Wir, wir, wir,
Tun rufen all zu dir:
Tu uns des Himmels Reich aufschließen,
Wenn wir einmal sterben müssen.
     Wir, wir, wir,
Wir rufen all zu dir.

     Still, Still, Still
The baby needs to sleep
Round the crib the angels singing
music's beauty, softly ringing.
     Still, Still, Still
The baby needs to sleep

     Sleep, sleep sleep
The baby is asleep.
Hark! as Mary gently singing;
from her heart, her son adoring
     Sleep, sleep sleep
The baby is asleep

     Broad, broad, broad
The love of God is broad.
For he has left his throne in glory;
walks with us on pathways, weary
     Broad, broad, broad
The love of God is broad.

     Rise, rise, rise
Let Adam's children rise.
For Christ has paid for all our failing
kneel before him and adoring -
     Rise, rise, rise
Let Adam's children rise.

     Hail! hail! hail!
We pray the Lord above
to open wide the gates of heaven;
die to sin , new life is given.
     Hail! hail! hail!
We pray the Lord above
