Det kimer nu til julefest,
Det kimer for den høje gæst,
Som stegtil lave hytter ned
Med nytårsgaver: fryd og fred.
The Christmas chimes so bold and blest
Ring out to hail a heavn'ly guest,
An infant wrapped in shepherd's fleece,
A gift to earth of joy and peace.
Rejoice my soul, all praise employ
In David's city find your joy,
And honor God with carols gay,
For what He gave to us this day!
