Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child,
\nMake thee a bed, soft, undefiled,
\nWithin my heart, that it may be
\nA quiet chamber kept for Thee.<\/p>\n

My heart for very joy doth leap,
\nMy lips no more can silence keep,
\nI too must sing, with joyful tongue,
\nThat sweetest ancient cradle song,<\/p>\n

Glory to God in highest heaven,
\nWho unto man His Son hath given
\nWhile angels sing with pious mirth.
\nA glad new year to all the earth.<\/p>\n

Martin Luther<\/em><\/p>\n
