by Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig (1783 - 1872)

Kimer, I klokker
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Kimer, I klokker, ja kimer før dag i det dunkle
Tindrer, I stjerner, som englenes øjne kan funkle
Fred kom til jord,
Himmelens fred med Guds Ord.
Æren er Guds i det høje.

Julen er kommen med solhverv for hjerterne bange
jul med Gudsbarnet i svøb, under englenes sange,
kommer fra Gud,
bringer os glædskabens bud.
Æren er Guds i det høje!

Synger og danser og klapper i eders småhænder,
menneskebørnene alle til jorderigs ender!
Født er i dag
barnet til Guds velbehag.
Æren er Guds i det høje!
