Bei der Krippe Jesu by Johann Kaspar Aiblinger — Lyrics
Schlaf wohl, du Himmelsknabe, du, schlaf wohl, du süsses Kind!
Dich fächeln Engel ein in Ruh mit sanftem Himmelswind.
Oh Jesulein, wir lieben dich,
wir lieben dich herzinniglich.
Schlafe, schlafe, Himmelssöhnchen, schlafe.

About Bei der Krippe Jesu
This sacred song, Bei der Krippe Jesu, sets a tender German text about the Nativity. The words paint a scene of peaceful adoration around the infant Jesus, with angels fanning him and Mary and Joseph watching over him. The simple, loving sentiments are expressed in a lullaby-like manner, emphasizing the deep affection felt for the "little Jesus".
Composed by Johann Kaspar Aiblinger, this piece is arranged for SA voices. Its devotional nature makes it suitable for services and concerts celebrating the Christmas season. The gentle imagery and heartfelt language combine to create a touching musical reflection on the birth of Christ.
