Lessons and Carols

My church in Berlin had a beautiful lessons and carols service. There is something so magical about Germany at Christmas and hearing the story of Christ's birth in both German and English was a memory I'll treasure. Enjoy the words to Away in a Manger in Deutsch. I love that Jesus laid his "kopfchen- sweet head" in the manger. Isn't kopfchen a beautiful term?

Im Stall in der Krippe eine Wiege auf Streu,
legt der kleine Herr Jesus sein Kopfchen aufs Heu.
Die Sterne am Himmel, sie schauen ihm zu,
die kleine Herr Jesus schlaft in himmlischer Ruh.
