Sweet Jesus Child
Maria on her way so long,
an angel on her mind,
asked Joseph, whose faith still was strong,
if shelter is hard to find.
„Sure!“, said Joseph to his wife,
„At last wie will succeed.
God´s will, that there is life on earth,
gives birth to our seed.
Tonight, tonight,
we praise the birth of Christ.
And in our dear sweet Jesus child
we see truth undisguised.
Not far from the town of Bethlehem,
where shepherds herd their sheep,
an angel came and spoke tot hem,
his voice was grace and deep.
Tonight, tonight,
you shall praise the birth of Christ.
´Cause in this dear sweet Jess child
You see truth undisguised.
Hail ye, Caesar of all suffering souls!
Hail, saviour of all troubled minds!
For whom your bell of freedom ever tolls,
a plain way home to you he finds.
Now kings and all the wise men kneel,
delivering presents fair.
Such happiness and joy I feel,
once dealing with despair.
Tonight, tonight,
we praise the birth of Christ.
And in our dear sweet Jesus child
we see truth undisguised.
((Solo über Strophe))
Tonight, tonight,
we praise the birth of Christ.
And in our dear sweet Jesus child
we see truth undisguised.
