Lítið barn
Ef þú segir mér frá sorgum þínum
ég segi lækningu þér frá
Ef þú segist enga sigra vinna
þína sigra skaltu‘ í barni sjá.
því lokasigur vann lítið barn.
Hallelúja, söngur hljómar!
Hallelúja, himinn ómar!
Hallelúja!
Undragleði, eilíf von,
upphafið var himins son.
Enginn vissi fyrir jólin fyrst
um frelsara né Jesú Krist,
í örvænting og angist var
en það ungabarn var heimi svar,
já, himnasvarið var lítið barn.
Hallelúja, söngur hljómar!
Hallelúja, himinn ómar!
Hallelúja!
Undragleði, eilíf von,
upphafið var himins son.
Sjáið konung koma inn,
enga krónu ber um sinn,
ungabarn á ekkert rúm,
endurlífgar dauðans húm.
Heyrið engla syngja hátt,
hljóðlátt fólkið krýpur lágt.
Óvænt hátign okkur hjá.
Hallelúja vil ég tjá.
Hallelúja, söngur hljómar!
Hallelúja, himinn ómar!
Hallelúja!
Undragleði, eilíf von,
upphafið var himins son.
Hallelúja, söngur hljómar!
Hallelúja, himinn ómar!
Hallelúja!
Undragleði, eilíf von,
upphafið var himins son.

Baby boy
If you told me all about your sorrows
I'd tell you about a cure
If you told me you can't fight the battle
There's a baby boy who won the war
The war was won by a baby boy
Alleluia, we can sing it
Alleluia, heaven's ringing
Alleluia!
Endless hope and relentless joy
started with a baby boy
Oh, before that silent night
No savior and no jesus christ
The world cried out so desperately
And the baby boy was the reply,
Yes, heaven's reply was a baby boy
Alleluia, we can sing it
Alleluia, heaven's ringing
Alleluia!
Endless hope and relentless joy
started with a baby boy
See, the king is coming down
And he's here without a crown
The baby boy without a bed
Giving life back to the dead
And hear the angels shout it out
As the people come and bow.
Unexpected majesty
Alleluia, what a king
Alleluia, we can sing it
Alleluia, heaven's ringing
Alleluia!
Endless hope and relentless joy
started with a baby boy
Alleluia, we can sing it!
Alleluia, yeah, heaven's ringing!
Alleluia!
Endless hope and relentless joy
started with a baby boy
