Jul, jul, strålande jul, glans över vita...

Language: Swedish (Svenska)

Our translations: FIN

Jul, jul, strålande jul, glans över vita skogar,
himmelens kronor med gnistrande ljus,
glimmande bågar i alla Guds hus,
psalm, som är sjungen från tid till tid,
eviga längtan till ljus och frid!
Jul, jul, strålande jul: glans över vita skogar!

Kom, kom, signande jul! Sänk dina vita vingar,
över stridernas blod och larm,
över alla suckan ur människobarm,
över de släkten som gå till ro,
över de ungas dagande bo!
Kom, kom, signande jul, sänk dina vita vingar!

Joulu, loistava joulu

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the Swedish (Svenska)

Joulu, loistava joulu,
on kimmellystä lumisten metsien yllä,
taivaan kruunuissa hehkuvia kynttilöitä,
hohtavia holveja kaikissa Herran huoneissa,
virsi, jota lauletaan ajasta aikaan,
ikuinen kaipaus valoon ja rauhaan.
Joulu, loistava joulu,
on kimmellystä lumisten metsien yllä.

Tule, joulu, tule siunaten,
levitä valkeat siipesi
veristen taistelujen melskeen ylle,
ihmissydämen huokausten ylle,
sen sukupolven ylle, jonka on aika mennä rauhaan,
nuorten perusteilla olevan kodin ylle!
Tule, joulu, tule siunaten,
levitä valkeat siipesi.
