ZING KERST 2024
Teksten
Born is the Light of the World
Beautiful child all aglow in the candlelight
See how he sleeps in a poor manger bed
Beautiful child! How the heavens adorn him
Starlight of silver
And halo of gold ’round his head
(Chorus)
Gloria! Gloria!
Angels on high are singing all, “Gloria!”
Let earth in reply sing “Gloria!
Gloria in excelsis deo!”
In the dark of the night
Born is the Light of the world
Beautiful child in the arms of his mother
Come see how his radiance shines in her face
Beautiful child who dispels all our darkness
Bright in his glory
Alight with the Father’s own grace
(Repeat chorus)
Time Passing
De klok tikt door
nacht en dag
Ik kan nauwelijks slapen
De pijn wordt heviger
AAH
Adeste Fideles
Adeste fideles, laeti triumphantes,
Venite, venite in Bethlehem.
Natum videte Regem angelorum,
Venite adoremus Dominum
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
come and behold Him, born the King of Angels
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation
O come, o come ye to Bethlehem
come and behold Him, born the King of Angels
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
I know that my Redeemer liveth
I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day
Upon the earth. And though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall
I see God
For now is Christ risen from the dead, the first fruits of them that
Sleep
Silent night
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Arabische/Libanese versie
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Ich steh' an deiner Krippen hier
O Jesu, du mein Leben
Ich komme, bring' und schenke dir
Was du mir hast gegeben
Nimm hin, es ist mein geist und Sinn
Herz, Seel' und Mut, nimm alles hin
Und laß dir's wohl gefallen
Koppången
There is silence around me
in this peaceful winter night.
From the church down in the
valley I can see the candlelight.
And I stopped for a moment
in this winter paradise,
When I heard a choir singing
through the darkness and the ice.
And the rays of lights behind
the window's vaulted frames
Have united the souls in hope
that something great is waiting.
And I know that those who have left
us here had the same thoughts as I,
We're like flames in the darkness
and stars up in the sky.
And I see how they sparkle
and they fade before my eyes
And the truth is coming closer
like a wonder in disguise.
We are caught here for a moment
like an imprint of a hand
On an old and frosted window
or a footprint in the sand.
For a while I'm eternal
that's the only thing I know,
I am here and we share our
dreams about our destination.
It is cold out here, the snow is
white but I'm warm deep inside.
I am warm 'cause I know that
my faith will be my guide
Ding dong, merrily on high!
In heav’n the bells are ringing;
ding dong, verily the sky
is riv’n with angel singing.
Gloria, hosannah in excelsis!
E'en so here below, below,
let steeple bells be swungen,
And io, io, io,
by priest and people sungen.
Gloria, hosannah in excelsis!
Christmas Bright Morning Star!
There shall come a star out of Jacob,
a Ruler shall rise out of Israel.
A King shall reign and execute justice,
a High Priest shall come out of Bethlehem.
Oh Christmas Bright Morning Star!
Bright Morning Star, we long to see
Your appearance in the east.
Shining in glory!
Blazing with triumph!
We will rise to worship You
Oh Christmas Bright Morning Star!
Kalinushka
Kalinushka, kalinushka, s malinushkoi,
Poletela, poletela ptichka na mat'
Kalinushka, kalinushka, met de framboos,
Vloog, vloog de vogeltje naar zijn moeder.
De vogel die naar zijn moeder vliegt, kan symbool staan voor het verlangen naar thuiskomen of het zoeken naar bescherming. Het lied heeft vaak een melancholische en sentimentele sfeer, en de kalina (de viburnum bes) is in Rusland een symbool voor liefde en verlangen.
Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remembered not.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly...
Blaas, blaas jij winterwind, Blaas, blaas jij winterwind,
U bent minder koud
Dan ’s mens ondankbaarheid,
Uw tand is minder scherp, Want u bent niet gezien, Ofschoon uw adem snijdt,
Hei-ho! Zing hei-ho! voor de groene hulst;
De meeste vriendschap is geveinsd, meeste liefde keutelarij:
Dus hei-ho de hulst! Vier het leven blij.
Vries maar dicht, o bitter zwerk,
Vries maar dicht, o bitter zwerk,
Dat bijt minder sterk
Dan van gunsten niet weten,
Al het winters guur
Is niet half zo zuur,
Dan als vriend te worden vergeten
Dan als vriend te worden vergeten
Hei-ho! Zing hei-ho! voor de groene hulst;
De meeste vriendschap is geveinsd, meeste liefde keutelarij:
Dus hei-ho de hulst! Vier het leven blij.

Deck the halls
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la, la la la la
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol
Fa la la la la, la la la la
See the blazing yule before us
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Follow me in merry measure
While I tell of Yuletide treasure
Fast away, the old year passes
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses
Sing we joyous all together, oh
Heedless of the wind and weather
Time Passing
De klok tikt maar door
nacht en dag
Ik kan nauwelijks slapen
De pijn wordt heviger
Allen: AAH
Cantique de Noël
Minuit, Chrétiens,
C'est l'heure solennelle,
Où l'Homme-Dieu descendit jusqu'à nous Pour effacer la tache originelle
Et de Son Père arrêter le courroux.
Le monde entier tressaille d'espérance
À cette nuit qui lui donne un Sauveur.
Peuple, debout! chante ta délivrance! Noël! Noël!
Noël! Noël! Voici le Redempteur!
Noël! Noël!
Middernacht, Christenen,
Het is het plechtig uur
waarop God als Mens tot ons neerdaalde
om de oorspronkelijke vlek uit te wissen
en een einde te maken aan de toorn van Zijn Vader.
De hele wereld siddert van hoop
in deze nacht, die hem een Redder brengt.
KOOR: Volk, sta op, bezing je bevrijding
Kerst! Kerst! Laten we zingen over de Verlosser!
Kerst! Kerst!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
It's the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that'll make 'em ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
Pine cones and holly berries
Popcorn for you, apples for me
Red striped candy, nutcracker handy
Kettle abubble and hot as can be
Snow clouds hang low and threatenin'
Maybe it won't, praying it may
The brightest fireplace glows in every face
Waiting for Christmas day
Waiting for Christmas day
Born is the Light of the World
Beautiful child all aglow in the candlelight
See how he sleeps in a poor manger bed
Beautiful child! How the heavens adorn him
Starlight of silver
And halo of gold ’round his head
(Chorus)
Gloria! Gloria!
Angels on high are singing all, “Gloria!”
Let earth in reply sing “Gloria!
Gloria in excelsis deo!”
In the dark of the night
Born is the Light of the world
