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.

Schön ist die Erde
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Danish (Dansk) 
Schön ist die Erde, 
schön ist Gottes Himmel,
schön der Seelen Pilgergang.
Durch all die schönen 
Reiche auf Erden 
ziehn wir ins Paradies mit Sang.

Zeitalter kommen, 
Zeitalter verschwinden
in des Menschengeschlechtes Gang.
Nie wird verstummen
aus Himmelshöhen
der Seelen froher Pilgersang.

Engel ihn sangen
Hirten auf dem Felde.
Lieblich klingt’s von Seel zu Seel:
Menschen frohlocket,
Friede auf Erden
hat uns gebracht Emanuel.
