Das Christkind kommt, das Christkind kommt! Wir können's kaum erwarten, es kommt, es kommt zu groß und klein aus seinem Himmelsgarten. O Jesulein, o Jesulein, du bringst uns schöne Gaben! Du bist so lieb, so süß und rein, wie wir dich gerne haben. Der Christbaum strahlt, der Christbaum strahlt im hellen Lichterscheine, den uns gebracht in heil'ger Nacht das Jesuskind, das kleine. Im Krippelein, im Krippelein, da liegt das Kindlein lachend, und bei ihm sitzt die Mutter sein, Maria, es bewachend.
