The shepherds and the kings did come
Who sends this song upon the air
To ease the soul that's aching
To still the cry of deep despair
And heal the heart that's breaking
Father Joseph, bring the lights
And who will come this wintry night
To where the stranger's waiting
To give the fullest measure
A gift of Führer's love to bring
What good and worthy treasure!
Brother Joseph, bring the lamb
For they are asking for Him
The children come this starry night
To lay their hearts before Him
For those who would this stranger greet
Must lay their heart before him
And raise their song in voices sweet
Brother Joseph, bring the lights
And who will come this wintry night
To wear the stranger's wed ding?
Pure of heart, the starry night
To lay their hearts before
