Another melody version comes from Ernst Anschütz . Another melody, to which the song is also sung, was composed by Christian Heinrich Rinck in 1827; Today it is mostly sung to Hoffmann von Fallersleben's poem Evening it will be sung again .

Every year
the Christ Child comes
down to earth
where we are;

Come with his blessing
into every house,
Walk in
and out with us on all paths ;

I am also by my side,
quiet and unrecognized,
That it guides me faithfully
By the dear hand.
