Mitt hjerte alltid vanker

My Heart Always Wanders

Mitt hjerte alltid vanker i Jesu fødte romMy heart always wanders where Jesus once was born
Der samles mine tanker som i sin hovedsumThere I collect my thoughts into a total sum
Der er min lengsel hjemme, der har min tro sin skattThere my longing finds a home, and my belief a treasure
Jeg kan deg aldri glemme velsignet julenattI can never forget you blessed Christmas night
  
Akk, kom jeg opp vil lukke mitt hjerte og mitt sinnOh, I want to open up my heart and my soul
Og full av lengsel sukke, kom Jesus dog her innAnd full of longing sigh, come Jesus here within
Det er ei fremmed bolig, du har jo selv den kjøptThis is no foreign housing, you bought it though yourself
Så skal jeg blive trolig, her i mitt hjerte svøptThen I will likely stay, swaddled in my heart
  
Jeg gjerne palmegrene vil om din krybbe strøI'll gladly spread palm branches around your crib
For deg, for deg alene jeg leve vil og døFor you, for you alone I will live and I will die
Kom la min sjel deg finne sin rette gledesstundCome let my soul find you its true blissful moment
At du ble født her inne i hjertets dype grunnThat you were born here deep in my heart's abyss
