Bērniņ Jēzu by Anonymous — Lyrics
1. Bērniņ Jēzu, mīļais, mazais, klausi manu lūgšanu:
"Nedod daudz, bet dod tik vienu, kas mūs darīs laimīgus.
Nedod mantu — tā zūd ātri, nedod slavu — tā drīz gaist.
Dod tik vienu: savu mīlu, Dieva Bērns Tu dārgākais.
2. Vēlos vairāk Tavu mīlu, nekā laimi pasaulē.
Dodu Tev es savu sirdi, pieņem to un paturi.

About Bērniņ Jēzu
This evocative Christmas carol, set for SATB choir, offers a heartfelt prayer to the infant Jesus. The text, in Latvian, expresses a desire for divine love above all worldly possessions or fame. The singer pleads not for riches or glory, but for a single, precious gift: the love of God. The prayer deepens as the singer offers their own heart in return, asking Jesus to accept it and to grant His own divine heart as a refuge through life's joys and sorrows. The carol concludes with a fervent wish for Jesus' gentle heart to be enclosed within the singer's own, securing their soul for eternity.
