by Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig (1783 - 1872)

Julen har englelyd
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Julen har englelyd,
vi med fryd
os barnlig på Gud Fader
forlader.
Vi var i nød så længe,
dog hørte han vor bøn,
han véd, hvortil vi trænge,
vor frelser blev Guds Søn;
thi vil vi alle sjunge
med hjerte og med tunge
et: Ære være Gud
for sit julebud!

Ret i en salig tid
kom han hid;
da glemte deres møde
de døde,
da de fik det at vide,
at født var folkets ven,
som tog vor sorg og kvide
og gav os fryd igen,
gik ned for os i døden
som sol i aftenrøden
og stod i morgengry
op for os på ny.

Sorg er til glæde vendt,
klagen endt!
I lovsang kendes fryden
på lyden!
Syng med Guds engleskare
på Jesu fødselsdag
om fred og ingen fare,
Gud Faders velbehag,
som vil al sorgen vende
til glæde uden ende,
bær' os på børnevis
ind i Paradis!
