När det lider mot jul [English translation]

There is a star shining wonderfully gentle

In the east in the sky it is

It has been gleaming over the worries and struggles of the world

Since nearly two thousand years

When the day gets dark and when the snow falls white

It comes closer, then it comes here

And then you know that soon it is Christmas

Because Christmas is wonderful for young and old

There is joy and sweetest peace

There are presents and Christmas trees and ring dancing as well

There is infinitely gentle happiness

There is light, everyone's eyes then shine at their best

And the stars twinkle the most

And where the light is, there it is Christmas
