Lyrics from Sálmabók til kirkju—og heima-söngs, 1886, no 411, pages 451–452

e. Skírnin.
411.
Lag: Nýja skrúðið nýfærð í.

1. Andi guðs sveif áður fyr
yfir vatna djúpi.
Upp þá lukust ljóssins dyr,
ljetti’ af myrkra hjúpi.
Upp reis jörðin ung og ný,
árdags geislum böðuð í,
þá úr dimmu djúpi.

2. Andi guðs sveif annað sinn
yfir vatni köldu,
Þegar ljet sig lausnarinn
lauga’ í Jórdans öldu.
Opnast himin, eins og nýtt
upp rann ráðar ljósið blítt
dauða’ úr djúpi köldu.

3. Andinn svífur enn sem fyr
yfir vatni tæru;
opnast himins dýrðardyr
drottins börnum kæru.
Eptir skírnar blessað bað
blómið upp vex nýdöggvað
lífs í ljósi skæru.

1. The Spirit of God hovered before
over the deep of the waters.
Then the doors of light opened,
and the shroud of darkness lifted.
The earth arose, young and new,
bathed in the rays of the dawn,
then from the dark deep.

2. The Spirit of God hovered a second time
over the cold water,
when the Redeemer allowed Himself
to be washed in Jordan’s wave.
Heaven opens, as if new,
gently dawns the light from above
from the cold deep of death.

3. The Spirit still hovers as before
over clear water;
the glory doors of heaven open
to the dear children of the Lord.
After the blessed bath of baptism,
the flower grows up anew,
dewed with life in clear light.
