I en natt - Bjørn Eidsvåg

I en natt så klar og kald av en ung og tapper mor

I en krybbe i en stall fødtes håpet til vår jord

Så umerkelig så stille

Byens gater helt forlatt

Ingen opptog for den lille

Lyset kom en vinternatt

Gjeterne satt rundt sin grue, skremtes opp av lys og lyd

Himmelen sto i veldig lue, engler sang om fred med fryd

Ikke frykt, vær ikke redde

Gud har kommet til vår jord

Nå i natt var det det skjedde

Gå til barnet og hans mor

I det stille til de små

Bringer Jesus håp om fred

Og han kommer da som nå

Fra himlen til oss ned

Julenattvmed lys og glede

Minner oss om Gud som kom

Evig er han her tilstede

Nå står grav og krybbe tom

In a night so clear and cold of a young and brave mother

In a manger in a stable, the hope of our earth was born

So imperceptible so quiet

The city streets completely abandoned

No spectacle for the little one

The light came on a winter night

The shepherds sat around their horror, frightened by light and sound

The sky was very cloudy, angels sang about peace with joy

Do not be afraid, do not be afraid

God has come to our earth

This night was what happened

Go to the child and his mother

In the quiet for the little ones

Brings Jesus hope for peace

And he comes then as now

From heaven to us down

Christmas night with light and joy

Reminds us of God who came

He is here forever

Now the grave and manger are empty
