Paroles et traduction Hanne Krogh - En Krybbe Var Vuggen

En Krybbe Var Vuggen

En krybbe var vuggen som ventet ham her,
Det lille barn Jesus, vår Frelser så kjær.
Men stjernene lyste helt inn der han lå,
Det lille barn Jesus på leie av strå.

Så enkelt og stille kom Gud til vår jord.
Så høyt er jeg elsket av Jesus, min bror.
Han kom fra Guds himmel, Gud selv var han lik,
Men Jesus ble fattig, og jeg er blitt rik.

Fra krybben til korset gikk veien for deg,
Slik åpnet du porten til himlen for meg.
Velsign oss, vær med oss, gi lys på vår vei,
Så alle kan samles i himlen hos deg.

A Crib Was the Cradle

A crib was the cradle that awaited him here,
The little child Jesus, our Savior so dear.
But the stars shone brightly right inside where he lay,
The little child Jesus on a bed of hay.

So simply and quietly, God came to our world.
I am so loved by Jesus, my brother, my Lord.
He came from God's heaven, God himself he did seem,
But Jesus became poor, and I have become redeemed.

From the manger to the cross, he walked the path for you,
Thus you opened the gate to heaven for me to walk through.
Bless us, be with us, guide us with your light,
So that we all may gather in heaven with you in sight.
