Es scheinet der Sterne holdselige Pracht by Robert Radecke — Lyrics
Es scheinet der Sterne holdselige Pracht
nun wieder hinein in die Weihnachtsnacht,
in die heilige Nacht, in die stille Nacht,
die uns einst den Welterlöser gebracht.
So feierlich ist's in der ganzen Welt,
so ruhig am blauen Himmelszelt,
als sollten auf ihren weißen Schwingen
die Engel noch einmal den Heiland bringen.
Es ziehet ein Wehn durch die ganze Luft,

About Es scheinet der Sterne holdselige Pracht
Robert Radecke’s Es scheinet der Sterne holdselige Pracht is a setting of a German Christmas text, ideal for the festive season. The lyrics evoke the starry beauty of Christmas night, the peace of the world, and the coming of angels bearing the Saviour. The text expresses a prayer for the Christ child to enter the heart, bringing both joy and sorrow, and fostering kindness and quietude. Radecke’s arrangement for SATB choir captures the devotional and celebratory spirit of the text, offering a thoughtful and expressive addition to a Christmas concert or service.
