by Bernhardt Severin Ingemann (1789 - 1862)
Translation by Cecilia Bååth-Holmberg (1857 - 1920)

Härlig är jorden
Language: Danish (Dansk)  after the Danish (Dansk) 
Our translations:  GER
Härlig är jorden,
Härlig är Guds himmel,
Skön är själarnas pilgrimsgång. 
Genom de fagra
Riken på jorden
Gå vi till paradis med sång. 

Tidevarv komma,
Tidevarv försvinna,
Släkten följa släktens gång. 
Aldrig förstummas
Tonen från himlen
I själens glada pilgrimssång. 

Änglar den sjöngo
Först för markens herdar. 
Skönt från själ till själ det ljöd: 
Människa, gläd dig,
Frälsarn är kommen,
Frid över jorden Herren bjöd.
