JUL, JUL, STRÅLANDE JUL

"Jul, jul, strålande jul" (English: Christmas, Christmas, glorious Christmas) is a Swedish Christmas song with lyrics written by Edvard Evers and music composed by Gustaf Nordqvist. It was published in 1921.

The song is one of the most common and beloved Christmas carols in Sweden. The lyrics describe Christmas as white, then snow-filled, and depict the rest of Christmas blessings with a wish that Christmas brings light and peace.

Jul, jul, strålande jul,
glans över vita skogar,
himmelens kronor med gnistrande ljus,
glimmande bågar i alla Guds hus,
psalm, som är sjungen från tid till tid,
eviga längtan till ljus och frid!
Jul, jul, strålande jul,
glans över vita skogar!

Kom, kom, signade jul!
sänk dina vita vingar
över stridernas blod och larm,
över all suckan ur människobarm,
över de släkten som gå till ro,
över de ungas dagande bo!
Kom, kom, signade jul,
sänk dina vita vingar!

(Edvard Evers)

Christmas, Christmas, glorious Christmas,
Shine over white forests,
The crowns of heaven with sparkling lights,
Glistening bows in each of God's houses,
A hymn sung time and time again,
Eternal longing for light and peace!
Christmas, Christmas, glorious Christmas,
Shine over white forests!

Come, come, holy Christmas!
Wrap your white wings
Around the blood and turmoil of war,
Around all the people's sighs,
Around all the families that go to rest,
Around the youth's daily lives!
Come, come, holy Christmas,
Lower your white wings!
