Lieb Nachtigall, wach auf! by Burkhart M. Schürmann — Lyrics
1. Lieb Nachtigall, wach auf!
Wach auf, du schönes Vögelein
auf jenem grünen Zweigelein,
wach hurtig auf, wach auf!
Dem Kindelein
auserkoren,
heut geboren,
fast erfroren,
sing, sing, sing
dem zarten Jesulein!
2. Flieg her zum Krippelein!
Flieg her, geliebtes Schwesterlein,
blas an dem feinen Psalterlein,
sing, Nachtigall, gar fein!
Dem Kindelein
musiziere,
koloriere,
jubiliere,
sing, sing, sing
dem süßen Jesulein!

About Lieb Nachtigall, wach auf!
This sacred Christmas piece by Burkhart M. Schürmann is set for SAB choir. The German text addresses a nightingale, urging it to awaken and sing to the Christ child. The lyrics describe the bird flying to the manger and making music for the infant Jesus. It calls for joyful celebration of the Creator becoming human and coming to Earth. The music is intended to convey the delight and devotion associated with the Nativity story, encouraging the choir to express the tenderness and wonder of this significant event.
