And make music at the manger

And offers you her loyal heart.

And must travel through the streets.

Big, big, big,

The love is enormous.

Children of Adam, up!

Fall to Jesus’s feet,

Because he atones for our sins!

Up, up, up,

Children of Adam, up!

We, we, we,

We all call to you:

Open the kingdom of heaven to us,

When one day we must die!

We, we, we,

We all call to you.

Quiet, quiet, quiet,

Because the little child is sleeping!

The angels guard the little house.

Because the little child is sleeping!

We all call to you:

Open the kingdom of heaven to us,

When one day we must die!

We, we, we,

We all call to you.
