Dig vil jeg elske by Carl Nielsen — Lyrics
Dig vil jeg elske, du min Styrke,
du giver Hjertet Fred og Trøst,
dig vil jeg ved min Gerning dyrke,
ved hver en Længsel i mit Bryst,
dig vil jeg elske, Frelser min!
O Jesus, kald mig din!
Dig vil jeg elske, du er Livet,
og fører mig paa Livets Vej,
dig vil jeg elske, du har givet
mig Lyset, det, som slukkes ej,
dig vil jeg elske, thi dit Blod
for mig du flyde lod.
Saa lang en Tid var du mig fremmed,
du, som dog først mig havde kær;
langt borte ledte jeg om Hjemmet,

About Dig vil jeg elske
The text expresses a profound and personal devotion to Christ. The singer pledges to love Jesus through their actions and innermost feelings, finding in him strength, peace, and comfort. It speaks of Jesus as the source of life and light, whose sacrificial love redeems the singer. The lyrics reflect on a past period of distance from God, a seeking for home that was always near in divine presence. It concludes with a plea not to be rejected, recognizing that worldly pleasures are fleeting compared to the enduring peace found in Christ’s embrace.
