Translation of the song lyrics Glade Jul - Sissel, Франц Грубер

Glade Jul (original)

Glade jul, hellige jul!
Engler daler ned i skjul
Hit de flyver med paradis grønt
Hvor de ser hva for Gud er skjønt
Lønnlig i blant oss de går
Lønnlig i blant oss de går
Julefryd, evig fryd
Hellig sang med himmelsk lyd!
Det er engler som hyrdene så
Dengang Herren i krybben lå
Evig er englenes sang
Evig er englenes sang
Fred på jord, fryd på jord
Jesusbarnet i blant oss bor
Engler synger om barnet så smukt
Han har himmeriks dør oppslukt
Salig er englenes sang
Salig er englenes sang
Salig fred, himmelsk fred
Toner julenatt herned
Engler bringer til store og små
Bud om ham som i krybben lå
Fryd deg hver sjel han har frelst!
Fryd deg hver sjel han har frelst!

Glade Jul (translation)

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas!
Angels descend into hiding
Here they fly with paradise green
Where they see what for God is though
Secretly in among us they go
Secretly in among us they go
Christmas joy, eternal joy
Holy song with heavenly sound!
There are angels that the shepherds saw
At that time the Lord was in the manger
Eternal is the song of the angels
Eternal is the song of the angels
Peace on earth, joy on earth
The baby Jesus lives among us
Angels sing about the child so beautifully
He has heaven's door engulfed
Blessed is the song of the angels
Blessed is the song of the angels
Blessed peace, heavenly peace
Tones Christmas night down here
Angels bring to big and small
Bid for him who lay in the manger
Rejoice every soul he has saved!
Rejoice every soul he has saved!
