Julepastorale (Brorson, set by P. Okkenhaug) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Som natten aldri er så sort
den jo for solen svinner
så farer all min kummer bort
når jeg meg rett besinner

at Gud mig synder har så kjær
at i mit kjød han kom mig nær
og er min broder vorden.

Jeg aldri glemmer disse ord
som klang i hellig englekor:
Nu er det fred på jorden!
