by Bernhardt Severin Ingemann (1789 - 1862)

Lysets engel går med glans
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Lysets engel går med glans
gennem himmelporte.
For Guds engels strålekrans
flygter alle nattens skygger sorte.

Sol går over verden ud
med Guds lys i øje:
Se! Vorherres sendebud
går på gyldne skyer i det høje.

Englen spreder over jord
glansen fra Guds himmel
i sin kåbes stråleflor
favner han alverdens glade vrimmel.

Sol ser in i slot og vrå,
ser på drot og tigger
ser til store, ser tll små
kysser barnet, som i vuggen ligger.

Os han også favne vil
englen i det høje
os han også smiler til
englen med Guds himmel-glans i øje.

Os har og Vorherre kær
ingen sjæl han glemmer
i hvert solglimt Gud er nær
og vor glade morgensang fornemmer.
