Hér hjá oss

Ég undrast enn þann dag í dag
hversu agnarsmá var blessuð hönd Guðs sjálfs
hve litlir fingur þá er fálmuðu um nótt
höfðu festing himins mótað rétt og mælt.

Hallelúja, hallelúja!
Himneskt ást ofan kom
til bjargar oss!
Hallelúja, hallelúja!
Sonur Guðs, sjálfur þjónn,
Guð með oss!
þú ert hér hjá oss!

Ég undrast enn þann dag í dag
hve hans ungbarnsaugu sáu árdagssól,
hve hans eyru höfðu englasöngva heyrt,
þó hans hafi móðir frelsara sinn svæft.

Hallelúja, hallelúja!
Himneskt ást ofan kom
til bjargar oss!
Hallelúja, hallelúja!
Sonur Guðs, sjálfur þjónn,
Guð með oss!
þú ert hér hjá oss!

Jesús, Guðs son,
varst í Betlehem
að frelsa fæddist þú,
að frelsa alla menn.

Hallelúja, hallelúja!
Himneskt ást ofan kom
til bjargar oss!
Hallelúja, hallelúja!
Sonur Guðs, sjálfur þjónn,
Guð með oss!

Hallelúja, hallelúja!
Himneskt ást ofan kom
til bjargar oss!
Hallelúja, hallelúja!
Sonur Guðs, sjálfur þjónn,
Guð með oss!
þú ert hér hjá oss!
þú ert hér hjá oss!
þú ert hér hjá oss!

Here with us

It’s still a mystery to me
That the Hands of God can be so small
How tiny fingers reaching in the night
Were the very hands that measure the sky?

Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Heavens love reaching down
To save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, servant King
Here with us
You’re here with Us

Still a mystery to me
How his infant eyes have seen the dawn of time
How his ears have heard an angel symphony
But still Mary had to rock her savior to sleep

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heavens love reaching down
To save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, servant King
Here with us
You’re here with Us

Jesus the Christ
Born in Bethlehem
A baby born to save -
to save the souls of men

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heavens love reaching down
To save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, servant King
Here with us.

oh, Hallelujah, hallelujah
Heavens love reaching down
To save the world
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Son of God, servant King,
Here with us
You’re here with Us.
You’re here with Us.
You’re here with Us.
