Mitt hjerte alltid vanker - Tone Damli

Mitt hjerte alltid vanker

I Jesu føde stall

Der samlas mine tanker

Som i sin hovedsum

Der er min lengsel heime

Der har mi tru sin skatt

Eg kan deg aldri gløyma

Velsigna julenatt

Akk, kom, eg opp vil lokka

Mitt hjerte og mitt sin

Og full av lengsel sukka:

Kom, Jesus, dog herinn!

Det e en fremmad bolig

Du har den sjøl jo kjøpt

Så skal eg blive trolig

Her i mitt hjerte svøpt

Eg gjerne palmegreine

Vil om di krybbe strø

For deg, for deg aleine

Eg leva vil og dø

Kom, la min sjel deg finna

Sin rette gelde stund

At du blei født herinne

I hjertes jupe grunn!

My heart always wanders

In the feeding stall of Jesus

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

Bless Christmas night

Alas, come, I want to lure up

My heart and my sin

And full of longing sigh:

Come, Jesus, but the army!

It's a foreign home

You bought it yourself

Then I must become faithful

Here in my heart wrapped

I like palm branches

Will if your crib sprinkle

For you, for you alone

I live will and die

Come, let my soul find you

Its right money moment

That you were born in here

In the depths of my heart!
