Lys I Mørket - Oslo Gospel Choir, Mia Gundersen, Bjarte Hjelmeland

Det kvile ei natt over landet i nord

Husan e små der kor menneskan bor

Men tida e travel i karrige kår

Rokken han svive og vevstolen går

Det leve i løa, i naustet og smia

Et lys, et lys, et lys imot mørketida

Snøen ligg tung over frossen jord

Ute står mørket om fjell og om fjord

Vår herre gir livberging, søtmat og sul

Når døgnan sig fram imot advendt og jul

Så støpe vi lys midt i hardaste ria

Et lys, et lys, et lys imot mørke tida

Dagen e borte og natta e stor

Men i mørketidslandet skal høres et ord

Ei sol som skal snu så det bære mot dag

Om folk som skal samles til helg og til lag

På veien mot Betlehem bære Maria

Et lys, et lys, et lys imot mørketida

It rested one night over the country in the north

Husan e small where kor man lives

But time is busy in barren conditions

The rocker he swings and the loom goes

It lives in the shed, in the boathouse and smithy

A light, a light, a light against the time of darkness

The snow is heavy over frozen soil

Outside, the darkness is about mountains and fjords

Our master provides lifesaving, sweet food and sole

When the day approaches Advent and Christmas

Then we cast candles in the middle of the hardest ria

A light, a light, a light against the dark time

The day is gone and the night is great

But in the land of darkness a word must be heard

A sun that will turn so that it bears towards day

About people who will gather for the weekend and for teams

On the way to Bethlehem carry Mary

A light, a light, a light against the time of darkness
