Denne er Dagen, som Herren har gjort by Carl Nielsen — Lyrics
Denne er Dagen, som Herren har gjort!
den skal hans Tjenere fryde,
op han i Dag lukked Himmerigs Port,
saá skal hver Søndag det lyde;
thi i dens hellige Timer
herlig af Graven opstod Guds Ord,
naadig fra Himlen Guds Aand nedfór:
Véd I nu hvorfor det kimer.
Frels da nu, Herre, giv Lykke og Held!
Værket i Dag er dig eget!
Lad Millioner dig takke i Kvæld,
for du dem har vederkvæget!
Ja, lad dem prise med Glæde
Aanden, som taler og trøster frit,
Folket velsigner i Navnet dit,
viser, din Fred er til Stede.

About Denne er Dagen, som Herren har gjort
This setting of a Danish text by Carl Nielsen is a powerful hymn for SATB choir, suitable for Easter or Pentecost celebrations. The lyrics reflect the joy and divine presence experienced on this day, the day the Lord has made. It speaks of Christ's resurrection, the descent of the Holy Spirit, and prayers for God's blessing and guidance for his people. The music would lend itself to a grand, uplifting interpretation, capturing the solemnity and exultation of these significant Christian festivals. It offers a rich harmonic language and melodic lines that convey deep spiritual feeling, making it a compelling choice for sacred occasions.
