Representative Text

1 Jeg synger Jule-Kvad,
Jeg er saa glad, saa glad!
Min Hjertens Jesus hviler
I Stald og Krybbe trang,
Som Sol hin klare smiler
Han paa sin Moders Fang.
Han er Frelser min!
Han er Frelser min!

2 O Jesus, du Barnlil,
Dig længes jeg saa til!
Kom, trøst mig alle Sinde,
Træd ind, om her em Smaat,
Lad mig dig se og finde,
O, da har jeg det godt!
Drag mig efter dig!
Drag mig efter dig!

3 Hvor er Gud Fader mild,
Sin Søn os sende vil!
Vi vare plat fordærvet
I Synd og vor Udyd,
Saa har han os forhvervet
Al Himlens, Himlens Fryd.
Eia, var vi der!
Eia, var vi der!

4 Hvor er vel Glæde slig,
Som op i Himmerig,
Hvor alle Engle kvæde
En ny og liflig Sang
For Herrens Stol og Sæde
Til Guds Basuners Klang!
Eia, var vi der!
Eia, var vi der!
