Der er en Bøn paa Jorden by Carl Nielsen — Lyrics
Der er en Bøn paa Jorden,
som, bedet ret med Fynd,
kan dæmpe mer end Torden,
udsletter Skyld og Synd,
ja, drager ned Guds Rige
til os og vore Lige
med al dets Herlighed

About Der er en Bøn paa Jorden
Carl Nielsen's Der er en Bøn paa Jorden is a sacred setting for SATB choir, sung in Danish. The text, a prayer of profound power, speaks of a plea that can quell more than thunder, eradicating guilt and sin, and drawing God's kingdom and its glory to humanity. This prayer belongs solely to God's only Son, who lends his voice to all humankind. He seeks to unite us with himself, so that God may gain children from stones and everlasting praise from dust. The composer's sensitive handling of this powerful devotional text makes it a moving choice for liturgical or concert settings.
