I Himmelen by Edvard Grieg — Lyrics
I Himmelen, i Himmelen,
hvor Gud, vor Herre bor,
hvor saligt did at komme hen,
hvor er den Glæde stor.
For evig, evig skal vi der
se Gud i Lyset, som han er,
se Herren Zebaot.
Og Legemet, og Legemet
som lagdes bort i Muld,
det vorder alt så skinnende,
ja som det skjære Guld.

About I Himmelen
Thisanthem, I Himmelen, was composed by Edvard Grieg. Sung in Norwegian, it is a sacred piece that would suit a liturgical setting. The text speaks of the joys of heaven, where God resides. It describes the heavenly body as shining like pure gold, free from wounds, and the soul adorned with righteousness and a white garment. The choir, singing SATB, will express the profound longing and ultimate delight of being in God's presence, seeing Him in His glory. The music aims to convey the immense happiness and peace found in this eternal state.
