Representative lyrics
Danish (Original Language)
1. Dejlig er jorden, prægtig er Guds Himmel, skøn er sjælenes pilgrimsgang. Gennem de favre riger på jorden gå vi til paradis med sang.
2. Tider skal komme, tider skal henrulle, slægt skal følge slægters gang; aldrig forstummer tonen fra Himlen i sjælens glade pilgrimssang.
3. Englene sang den først for markens hyrder, skønt fra sjæl til sjæl det lød: Fred over jorden! Menneske, fryd dig, os er en evig Frelser fød.
