We Are So Glad (on Christmas Eve)
=================================
w&m: Peter Knudsen, 1859
English Translation by Marie Wexelsen

[Verse 1]
I am so glad on Christmas Eve,
The night of Jesus' birth;
The night the Star shone like the sun,
And angels sang on earth.

[Verse 2]
I am so glad on Christmas Eve.
Our grateful praises rise
To Jesus, who has opened wide
His own sweet Paradise.

Original Norwegian

Jeg Er Saa Glad Hver Julekveld
==============================
w&m: Peter Knudsen, 1859

[Verse 1]
Jeg er saa glad hver julekveld
Ti da blev Jesus fodt,
Da ilyte stjernen som en sol,
Og engle sang saa sodt.

[Verse 2]
Jer er saa glad hver julekveld
Da synger vi hans pris,
Da aapner han for alle smaa
Sit sode paradis.
