Den store stille nat går frem
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Den store stille nat går frem med lys fra himmelens sale, hvert lys er sol for sjæles hjem i højere verdners dale. I himmeloceaners skød neddukker natten sin vinge med alle stjernesoles glød, mens sfærernes harper klinge. O! nat, rul dine verdner frem i oceaner af himle med pris til Gud fra engles hjem og jorderigs sjælevrimle!
