P.E. Lange-Müller - Gammel julesang | Ars Nova Copenhagen

Gammel Julesang was composed in 1872 and is a beautiful Christmas carol that celebrates the message of Christmas, urging to follow the star to Bethlehem. It has become a classic and is often sung in Denmark during Christmas celebrations. Lange-Müller's composition combines H.C. Andersen's heartfelt lyrics with a melody that captures the Christmas spirit.
Performed in Trinitatis Kirke, Copenhagen, December 2023. Ars Nova Copenhagen conducted by Eamonn Dougan. Solo: Hanne Marie le Fevre.
Før mig, barn, til Betlehem!
Dig, min Gud, dig vil jeg finde;
Hvem formår vel, hvem formår vel
uden dig til dig at vinde, til dig at nå.
Væk mig op af søvnens hvile,
kald min sjæl, at den er rede.
Lad din hånd mig fremad lede,
at jeg fluks afsted må ile,
haste imod Betlehem,
hvor jeg dig, min Gud, skal finde;
hvem formår vel, hvem formår vel
uden dig til dig at vinde.
Træt af syndens hårde plage
Kan kun tungt jeg foden flytte;
Er ej du min hjælp og støtte,
Må jeg vakle og forsage.
Led mig du til Betlehem,
Dér, min Gud, skal dig jeg finde;
Hvem formår vel, hvem formår vel
uden dig til dig at vinde.
Led mig til Betlehem!
English translation:
Lead me, child, to Bethlehem!
You, my God, you I will seek;
Who can, who can
Without you reach towards you, reach you.
Wake me from the rest of sleep,
Call my soul, that it is ready.
Let your hand guide me forward,
So that I may swiftly hasten,
Hasten towards Bethlehem,
Where I shall find you, my God;
Who can, who can
Without you reach towards you.
Tired of the hard torment of sin,
I can only move my foot heavily;
If you are not my help and support,
I may falter and forsake.
Lead me to Bethlehem,
There, my God, I shall find you;
Who can, who can
Without you reach towards you.
Lead me to Bethlehem!
