Representative lyrics
Danish (Original Language)
1. Nu vågne alle Guds fugle små, de flyve fra reden og sjunge; de prise vor Herre, så godt de formå, de takker for livet og lyset med fløjtende tunge.
2. Nu kvidrer svalen på kirketag, og spurven ved menneskers huse, de synge: God morgen! de synge: Goddag! de synge: Guds fred, Gud ske lov! og i luften hensuse.
3. Småfuglenes sang vor Herre forstår, han kender hver sjæl i sit rige, de fattiges lovsang han ikke forsmår, han ser, hvad de målløse skabninger alle vil sige.
4. Os ser du også, du kære Gud, du hører vor røst i din Himmel, når fuglene flagre af rederne ud, du hører småbørnenes pris i din jublende vrimmel!
