Dybt hælder Aaret i sin Gang by Carl Nielsen — Lyrics
Dybt hælder Aaret i sin Gang,
snart ødes Eng og Lund,
farvel med al din Lyst og Sang,
du korte Sommerstund!
Snart sukker Vinterstormens Røst:
Alt visner og forgaar!
Lad visne kun, jeg véd den Trøst,
som ligefuldt bestaar.
Lad Solen korte af sin Vej
og Natten vokse til,
Guds Vældes Arm forkortes ej,
hans Visdom fór ej vild.
Lad guldne hvert et Blad paa Kvist,
lad falme alle Straa,
Guds Kærlighed jeg véd for vist,
omskiftes ikke saa.

About Dybt hælder Aaret i sin Gang
This evocative hymn by Carl Nielsen captures the somber mood of late autumn as the year draws to a close. The text speaks of the fading beauty of nature, the ephemeral joys of summer, and the approaching winter's harshness. Yet, amidst this transience, a profound spiritual comfort is found. The lyrics contrast the decay of the earthly world with the enduring nature of God's love and wisdom. It reflects on the ultimate solace offered by faith, drawing parallels between the natural cycle of death and rebirth and the eternal hope found in the Christian message of redemption, symbolized by the enduring glory of the Savior's cross. The SATB voicing lends a rich, full sound to this contemplative Danish sacred song.
