Representative lyrics
Danish (Original Language)
1. I østen stiger solen op, den spreder guld på sky, går over hav og bjergetop, går over land og by.
2. Den kommer fra den favre kyst, hvor paradiset lå, den bringer lys og liv og lyst til store og til små.
3. Den hilser os endnu så smukt fra Edens morgenrød, hvor træet stod med evig frugt, hvor livets væld udflød.
4. Den hilser os fra lysets hjem, hvor størst Guds lys oprandt med stjernen over Betlehem, som Østens vise fandt.
