Gläd dig du Kristi brud by Knut Håkanson — Lyrics
Gläd dig du Kristi brud
Och möt din Herre Gud.
Den stora dag du skådat
Som de profeter bådat,
Hosianna, pris och ära
Vår konung vi hembära!
En krona Han ej bär

About Gläd dig du Kristi brud
This Swedish hymn is suitable for services during Advent or Christmastide, celebrating the approach of Christ. The text, a translation of the Latin antiphon O Adonai, speaks of the joy of the bride of Christ anticipating the coming of her Lord. It reflects on Christ's humility and quiet power, bringing hope to the weak and promising salvation to his faithful. Knut Håkanson's setting for SATB choir brings this devotional text to life, offering a contemplative yet uplifting musical experience. Its sacred nature and hymn-like structure make it a fitting choice for congregational singing or a reflective moment within a service.
