Текст и перевод песни Juanita du Plessis - Somerkersfees

Somerkersfees

Welkom o stille nag van vrede,
Onder die suiderkruis,
Wyl stemme uit die ou verlede
Oor sterre velde ruis

Kerfees kom, Kersfees kom –
Gee aan God die eer.
Skenk ons 'n helder Somerkersfees
In hierdie land, o Heer.

Hoor jy hoe sag die klokke beier
In eeue-oue taal.
Kyk, selfs die nagtelike swye
Vertel die ou verhaal.

Kerfees kom, Kersfees kom –
Gee aan God die eer.
Skenk ons 'n helder Somerkersfees
In hierdie land, o Heer.

Voel jy ook nou sy warm liefde
As ons die dag gedenk,
Toe Hy sy Seun aan ons gegee het –
Ons grootste Kers geskenk.

Kerfees kom, Kersfees kom –
Gee aan God die eer.
Skenk ons 'n helder somer Kersfees
In hierdie Land, o Heer.

Kersfees kom, Kersfees kom,
Gee aan God die eer.
Skenk ons 'n helder somer Kersfees
In hierdie Land, o Heer.
In hierdie Land, o Heer.

Christmas Festival

Welcome, peaceful night,
Under the Southern Cross,
As voices from the past
Whisper over the starry fields

Christmas is coming, Christmas is coming –
Glory to God in the highest.
Grant our bright Summer Christmas
In this land, O Lord.

Hear how gently the bells are ringing
In age-old language.
See, even the silence of the night
Tells the old story.

Christmas is coming, Christmas is coming –
Glory to God in the highest.
Grant our bright Summer Christmas
In this land, O Lord.

Do you feel His warm love now
As we commemorate the day,
When He gave us His Son –
Our greatest Christmas gift.

Christmas is coming, Christmas is coming –
Glory to God in the highest.
Grant our bright Summer Christmas
In this land, O Lord.

Christmas is coming, Christmas is coming,
Glory to God in the highest.
Grant our bright Summer Christmas
In this land, O Lord.
In this land, O Lord.
