Hark! the herald angels sing:
Glory to the newborn King!
peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
join the triumph of the skies;
with th’angelic host proclaim:
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Hark! the herald angels sing:
Glory to the newborn King!
Christ, by highest heav’n adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come,
offspring of a virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
Hail th’incarnate Deity!
pleased, as Man, with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark!...
Hail! the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail! the Sun of Righteousness!
light and life to all He brings,
risen with healing in His wings.
Mild He lays His glory by,
born that man no more may die,
born to raise the sons of earth,
born to give them second birth.
Hark!...

The Angel Gabriel
03:28
|
|||
|
The angel Gabriel from heaven came
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame
“All hail” said he “thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favoured lady”.
Gloria!
“For know a blessed mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honour thee,
Thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold,
Most highly favoured lady”.
Gloria!
Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head
“To me be as it pleaseth God”, she said,
“My soul shall laud and magnify His holy name.”
Most highly favoured lady.
Gloria!
Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ was born
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say:
“Most highly favoured lady”.
Gloria!
(after Luke 1: traditional Basque coll. Charles Bordes, para. Sabine Baring-Gould)
