Today in Bethlehem hear I
December 25th, 2005 ~ La Vida IglesiaToday in Bethlehem hear I
Sweet angel voices singing:
All glory be to God on high,
Who peace on earth is bringing.
The Virgin holdeth more
Than highest heaven most holy;
Light shines on what was dark before,
And lifteth up the lowly.
God will that peace shall be on earth
And holy exultation,
Sweet Babe, I greet Thy spotless birth
And wondrous incarnation.
Today in Bethlehem hear I
Even the lowly singing.
With angel-words they pierce the sky
All earth with joy is ringing
– St. John of Damascus
