Mitt hjerte alltid vanker - Carola

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

My heart always wanders

In Jesus' birth room

My thoughts gather there

As in its principal sum

There is my longing at home

There my faith has its treasure;

I can never forget you

Blessed Christmas night!

Alas, I came up wanting to close

My heart and my mind

And full of longing sigh:

Come, Jesus, but the army!

It is a foreign home

You bought it yourself

Then you must become faithful

Here in my heart wrapped

I like the palm branches

Will if your crib sprinkle

For you, for you alone

I want to live and die

Come, let my soul find

His right rejoiced moment

That you were born in here

In the depths of the heart
