This night is the eve of the great Nativity,

Born is the Son of Mary the Virgin,

The soles of His feet have reached the earth,

The Son of glory down from on high,

Heaven and earth glowed to Him

 

All hail, let there be joy!

The peace of earth to Him, the joy of heaven to Him,

Behold his feet have reached the world;

The homage of a King be His, the welcome of a Lamb be His,

King of all victorious, Lamb all glorious,

Earth and ocean illumed Him,

 

All hail, let there be joy!

The mountain glowed to Him; the plains glowed to Him,

The voice of the waves with the song of the strand,

Announcing to us that Christ is born,

Son of the King of kings for the land of salvation;

Shone the sun on the mountains high to Him,
 

All hail, let there be joy!

 

Shone to Him the earth and sphere together,

God the Lord has opened a door;

Son of Mary Virgin, hasten thou to help me,

Thou Christ of hope, Thou door of joy,

Golden sun of hill and mountain,

 

All hail, let there be joy!
