Rejoice, the Christchild comes soon!

This is the first Christmas song I learned. I was about five years old. I learned it from German Mennonite friends.

Softly falls the snow,
Still and frozen rests the lake,
The forest looks like Christmastide,
Rejoice, the Christchild comes soon!

In every heart it's warm
Quiet from worries and harm
Cares of life are restrained.
Rejoice, the Christchild comes soon!

Soon is the Holy Night
Choirs of angels awaken
Listen now, how lovely it echos!
Rejoice, the Christchild comes soon!
