Paroles et traduction Anne Dorte Michelsen - Hil dig Frelser Og Forsoner

Hil dig Frelser Og Forsoner

Hil dig, frelser og forsoner!
Verden dig med torne kroner,
Du det ser, jeg har i sinde
Rosenkrans om kors at vinde,
Giv dertil mig mod og held!

Hvad har dig hos Gud bedrøvet,
Og hvad elsked du hos støvet,
At du ville alt opgive
For at holde os i live,
Os dig at meddele hél?

Kærligheden, hjertegløden,
Stærkere var her end døden,
Heller giver du end tager,
Ene derfor dig behager
Korsets død i vores sted!

Ak! nu føler jeg til fulde
Hjertets hårdhed, hjertets kulde!
Hvad udsprang af disse fjelde,
Navnet værdt, til at gengælde,
Frelsermand, din kærlighed?

Dog jeg tror, af dine vunder
Væld udsprang til stort vidunder,
Mægtigt til hver sten at vælte
Til isbjerge selv at smelte,
Til at tvætte hjertet rent!

Derfor beder jeg med tårer:
Led den ind i mine årer,
Floden, som kan klipper vælte,
Floden, som kan isbjerg smelte,
Som kan blod-skyld tvætte af!

Du, som har dig selv mig givet,
Lad i dig mig elske livet,
Så for dig kun hjertet banker,
Så kun du i mine tanker
Er den dybe sammenhæng!

Skønt jeg må som blomsten visne,
Skønt min hånd og barm må isne
Du, jeg tror, kan det så mage,
At jeg døden ej skal smage,
Du betalte syndens sold!

Ja, jeg tror på korsets gåde,
Gør det, Frelser, af din nåde.
Stå mig bi, når fjenden frister!
Ræk mig hånd, når øjet brister!
Sig: vi gå til Paradis!

Help Me, Savior and Redeemer

Help me, savior and redeemer!
The world has crowned you with thorns,
You see what I have in mind
To wind a rosary around the cross,
Give me courage and fortune to do so!

What have you grieved with God,
And what did you love in the dust,
That you would give up everything
To keep us alive,
To share yourself with us completely?

Love, the glow of the heart,
Was stronger here than death,
You would rather give than take,
Therefore, only the
Death on the cross in our place pleases you!

Alas! now I feel to the full
The hardness of the heart, the coldness of the heart!
What sprang from these mountains,
A name worthy of repaying,
Savior, your love?

Yet I believe, from your wounds
A fountain sprang to great wonder,
Powerful to overturn every stone
To make even icebergs melt,
To wash the heart clean!

Therefore I pray with tears:
Lead it into my veins,
The river that can overturn rocks,
The river that can melt icebergs,
Which can wash away blood guilt!

You who have given yourself to me,
Let me love life in you,
So that my heart beats only for you,
So that only you are
The deep connection in my thoughts!

Though I must wither like a flower,
Though my hand and breast must grow cold
I believe you can manage it so,
That I shall not taste death,
You paid the debt of sin!

Yes, I believe in the mystery of the cross,
Do it, Savior, by your grace.
Stand by me when the enemy tempts me!
Reach out your hand when my eyes fail!
Say: we go to Paradise!
