Overalt, overalt, er det jul i kveld!

                                        Jul i land hvor furu og gran gror,

                                        jul i land hvor palmer bor,

                                        jul der fjelltopper rager i hvitt,

                                        jul der kornet står gyllent og blidt…

                                        Overalt, overalt er det jul i kveld!

                                        For det Kristus-barn som kommer,

                                        er alles Herre.

                                        Intet slott er for stort, ingen hytte for liten.
