1. Et barn er født i Betlehem,
i Betlehem,
Ti gleder sig Jerusalem.
Alleluja, alleluja!

2. En fattig jomfru sat i løn,
Hun sat i løn,
Og fødte himlens kongesøn.
Alleluja, alleluja!

3. Lov, tak og pris i evighet,
I evighet,
Den hellige trefoldighet.
Alleluja, alleluja!

This traditional Danish carol is a setting derived from the famous 14th Century Latin hymn, "Puer Natus in Bethlehem." These words are by Nikolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig (1783-1872)
