Representative lyrics
Danish (Original Language)
1. O Helligånd, mit liv, min lyst, du skjulte perle i mit bryst, vær du min trøst, vær du min fred, vær du mit lys, min salighed! Vær du mit lys, min salighed!
2. Et lys, som aldrig bliver slukt, en blomst, som altid sætter frugt, en videnskab, som Gud kun ved, er livet i din kærlighed! Er livet i din kærlighed!
3. Så bryd da ud i fryderåb med sejerssang, du Zions håb! Og du, som ej af alder ved, du evig unge kærlighed! Du evig unge kærlighed!
4. I Jesu navn syng til Guds pris, til jorden bli´r et paradis, alt hvad som tunge har og røst, alt hvad som hjerte har i bryst! Alt hvad som hjerte har i bryst!
