Drag, Jesus, mig by Carl Nielsen — Lyrics
Drag, Jesus, mig
dog efter dig,
saa følger jeg med Længsel,
did, hvor du, O Jesus, gik
ud fra Verdens Trængsel!
Drag, Jesus, mig
dog efter dig,
fra Verdens Myretue,
at jeg ikke mere skal
al den Jammer skue.
Drag, Jesus, mig
dog efter dig,
med Zions Brudeskare,

About Drag, Jesus, mig
This sacred hymn in Danish, Drag, Jesus, mig, translates to 'Draw, Jesus, me after you'. The text expresses a fervent plea for divine guidance, seeking to follow Jesus away from the world's troubles, its 'ant-hill', and its 'misery'. The singer desires to join the 'bride of Zion' and be led to the 'joyful dwelling of heaven', away from the world's disquiet. Composed by Carl Nielsen for SATB choir, this piece is a moving expression of spiritual longing and the desire for salvation, moving from worldly distress towards heavenly peace. The text paints a vivid picture of the soul's journey towards divine companionship and eternal joy.
