Glade Jul
Author: Josef Mohr; T. B. S. Ingemann; Brent Støylen Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15105 First Line: Glade jul, heilage jul! Lyrics: 1 Glade jul, heilage jul!
Englar kjem frå Guds kongestol.
Blomar ber dei til paradis,
Fint og fagert dei syng Guds pris.
Løynleg ikring oss dei går.
2 Jolebod, gledeleg bod
Tonar til oss med himmelljod,
Song av englar som hyrdingar såg
Den gong Jesus i krubba låg.
Songen av englar er sæl.
3 Fred på jord, frygd på jord!
Jesusbarnet det er vår bror.
Englar syng um hans herlegdom.
Han hev reidt oss i himmelen rom.
Songen av englar er sæl.
4 Sæle fred, himmelsk fred
Jolekvelden til jord kom ned.
Englar syng um den fred dei såg,
Syng om han som i krubba låg.
Gled deg, kvar sjel han hev frelst! Languages: Norwegian Tune Title: [Glade jul, heilage jul!]

Mohr was a priest in various churches near Salzburg, including St. Nicholas Church. He spent his later years in Hintersee and Wagrein.

Mohr, Joseph, was born at Salzburg, Austria, on Dec. 11, 1792. After being ordained priest on Aug. 21, 1815, by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Salzburg, he was successively assistant at Ramsau and at Laufen; then coadjutor at Kuchl, at Golling, at Vigaun, at Adnet, and at Authering; then Vicar-Substitute at Hof and at Hintersee--all in the diocese of Salzburg. In 1828 he was appointed Vicar at Hintersee, and in 1837 at Wagrein, near St. Johann. He died at Wagrein, Dec. 4, 1848. The only hymn by him translated into English is:—
Stille Nacht! heilige Nacht! Christmas. This pretty little carol was written for Christmas, 1818, while Mohr was assistant clergyman at Laufen, on the Salza, near Salzburg, and was set to music (as in the Garland of Songs) by Franz Gruber, then schoolmaster at the neighbouring village of Arnsdorf (b. Nov. 25, 1787, at Hochburg near Linz, died June 7, 1863, as organist at Hallein, near Salzburg). What is apparently the original form is given by 0. Kraus, 1879, p. 608, in 3 stanzas of 6 lines, and in Dr. Wichern's Unsere Lieder, Hamburg, 1844, No. 111. Another form, also in 3 stanzas of 6 lines, is in T. Fliedner's Lieder-Buch für Kleinkinder-Schulen, Kaiserswerth, 1842, No. 115, and the Evangelical Kinder Gesang-Buch, Basel, 1867. The translations are from the text of 1844.
