Kommt wir gehn by Manfred Hößl — Lyrics
Kommt, wir gehn nach Bethlehem.
Seht den Stern,
nah und fern,
weist den Weg zu Gott dem Herrn,
Jesulein,
Herre mein,
wiegen will ich dich gar fein.
Lippei, blas die Flöte Du.

About Kommt wir gehn
Manfred Hößl's Kommt wir gehn is a sacred German song for unison voices. The text invites listeners to journey to Bethlehem, guided by a star that points the way to God. It unfolds like a playful, almost theatrical scene, calling on various individuals to add music to the journey. One is asked to play the flute, another the violin, another the bagpipes, and another the bass. All the while, the simple yet profound message of seeing the star and heading towards the Lord is reinforced, creating a charming and engaging narrative within the song. The piece offers a gentle, folk-like depiction of the Nativity.
