1.
Soft now, soft, the child wants to sleep.
Mary bends over the child,
smiling at him with tender eyes.
Soft, now, soft, the child wants to sleep.
2.
Sleep now, sleep, my dear son, sleep.
The dear angels are softly singing
a song of joy by your crib.
Sleep now, sleep, my dear son, sleep.
3.
Great, yes, great, love is astonishingly great.
God has left the heights of heaven
to wander, abandoned, here.
Great, yes, great, love is astonishingly great.
