Christmas hymns Auf Deutsch (in German)

As most of you know, I love the German language. When I was in high school, I got a German hymnbook for Christmas. Nearly every year since then I've taken said hymnbook to Church, starting the Sunday after Thanksgiving, so that I could sing in German. My favorite hymn is Stille Nacht (Silent Night). I love this hymn not only for it's German origins but for it's simple melody and the power it has to fill my heart with the Christmas spirit.
