“Leise rieselt der Schnee” (“Softly falls the snow”) is a popular German carol about the Christ Child’s arrival and the snow falling in winter. The melody is traditional. The lyrics are from a poem by Eduard Ebel (1839-1905). The original 1895 title was “Weihnachtsgruß” (“Christmas greeting”) in Ebel’s Gesammelte Gedichte (“collection of poems”). Ebel was a Protestant pastor, poet, and composer.
Leise rieselt der Schnee, Still und starr ruht der See, Weihnachlicht glänzet der wald. Freue dich,’s Christkind kommt bald!
In den Herzen wird’s warm, Still schweigt Kummer und Harm, Sorge des lebbens verhalt. Freue dich,’s Christkind kommt bald!
Bald ist heilige Nacht, Chor der Engel erwacht, Hört nur, wie lieblich es schallt: Freue dich,’s Christkind kommt bald!
Softly falls the snow, Quiet and frozen rests the lake. Christmas-like sparkles the forest: Rejoice! The Christ Child will soon be here.
In our hearts it’s warm, Silent are sorrow and grief, Life’s worries fade away: Rejoice! The Christ Child will soon be here.
Soon it’s Christmas Eve, Choir of angels awakes, Just hear how lovely it sounds: Rejoice! The Christ Child will soon be here.
