One of the best known German Christmas songs.
The first strophe is from "Allerdreifeiertagslied" by Johannes Daniel Falk (1816); the other two are credited to Heinrich Holzschuher.
The text was written to fit to the melody of an old ode to Virgin Mary called " O sanctissima, o purissima (piissima), dulcis virgo Maria" - Licensing
