Wenn die kleinen Kinder beten
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Wenn die kleinen Kinder beten,
hören all die Sternlein zu,
und die Englein alle treten
leis' herzu auf goldnem Schuh!
Lauschen auf des Kindes Worte,
schließen tief ins Herz sie ein,
tragen durch die Himmelspforte
sie zum lieben Gott hinein.

Quand les petits enfants prie
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Quand les petits enfants prie,
Toutes les étoiles écoutent,
Et tous les petits anges viennent
Doucement en bas chaussés d'or.
Écoutez les mots des enfants,
Enfermez-les profondément dans le cœur.
Portez-les à travers les portes du ciel
Jusqu'au cher Dieu.
