Merry Christmas

A Bed In My Heart
                  by Martin Luther

 Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child,
Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled
Within my heart,
that it may be
A quiet chamber kept for Thee.
My heart for very joy doth leap.
My lips no more can silence keep.

I too must sing, with joyful tongue,
That sweetest ancient cradle song,
Glory to God in highest Heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given,
While angels sing with pious mirth,
A glad New Year to all the earth.
