New Feature Alert


It’s now easier than ever to see both the author's and the composer's versions of a text!

After more than a year in development, I'm thrilled to announce that we've finally implemented the ability to view "sung texts" with all the modifications by a given composer already applied. Over 10,000 pages will benefit from this improvement. It should especially benefit those of you who need accurate texts for concert programs and CD booklets.

I'm excited to share this new feature with all of you and hope that it enhances your experience on the LiederNet Archive. Take some time to explore and enjoy! — Emily

Lob sei dem süßen Kindelein
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Dutch (Nederlands) 
Lob sei dem süßen Kindelein
unschuldig, rein, unschuldig, rein,
herab aus Himmelvaters Schoß,
um uns zu geben
das ewig Leben
durchs Himmelsbrot.
Schöpft Freud und seid im Herzen rein,
uns ist geboren 
der auserkoren
der Welt wird sein.

Seid fröhlich alle, stimmet ein,
ob groß, ob klein, ob groß, ob klein
und macht euch nun von Sünden rein,
uns ward geboren
der auserkoren
der Welt wird sein.
Schöpft Freud und seid im Herzen rein,
uns ward geboren
der auserkoren
der Welt wird sein.
