Lyrics:


English:
My heart is always wandering where Jesus once was born
There I collect my thoughts into a total sum
There my longing finds a home, and my belief a treasure
I can never forget you blessed Christmas night

Oh, I want to open up my heart and my soul
And full of longing sigh, come Jesus here within
This is no foreign housing, you bought it though yourself
Then I will likely stay, swaddled in my heart

I'll gladly spread palm branches around your crib
For you, for you alone I will live and I will die
Come let my soul find you its true blissful moment
That you were born here deep in my heart's abyss.

Norwegian:
Mitt hjerte alltid vanker i Jesu føderom,
der samles mine tanker som i sin hovedsum.
Der er min lengsel hjemme,der har min tro sin skatt;
jeg kan deg aldri glemme velsignet julenatt!

Akk, kom jeg opp vil lukke mitt hjerte og mitt sinn
og full av lengsel sukke: Kom, Jesus, dog herinn!
Det er ei fremmed bolig, du har den selv jo kjøpt,
så skal du blive trolig her i mitt hjerte svøpt.

Jeg gjerne palemgrene vil om din krybbe strø,
for deg, for deg alene jeg leve vil og dø.
Kom, la min sjel dog finne sin rette gledes stund,
at du er født herinne i hjertets dype grunn.
