Eit barn er født i Betlehem,
No frydar seg Jerusalem.
Halleluja! Halleluja!

Her ligg han I eit krubberom,
Men rår med evig herredom.
Halleluja! Halleluja!

Men okse der og asen stod,
Og såg den Gud og Herre god.
Halleluja! Halleluja!

Tre kongar kom frå Austerland,
Gull, røykjels, myrra gav dei han.
Halleluja! Halleluja!

Ein gong vi vert vår Herre lik.
Han leier oss til himmelrik.
Halleluja! Halleluja!

Lov takk og pris I æva all,
Tre einig Gud det vera skal.
Halleluja! Halleluja!

Translation:
A child is born in Bethlehem.
Now joy reigns in Jerusalem.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Laid in a lowly manger,
He rules with eternal lordship.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

An ox and ass beside him stood,
And saw that God and gentle Lord.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Three kings came out of Eastern lands
To give Him incense, gold and myrrh.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Once we shall be like our Lord,
He leads us into paradise.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Eternal praise and gratitude,
Unto the Holy One in Three.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
