Traditional - A child this day is born - текст песни (слова)

A child this day is born,
 a child of high renown;
 most worthy of a scepter,
 a scepter and a crown
 
  Nowell, nowell, nowell,
 
nowell sing all we may,
 
because the King of all kings
 
was born on Christmas day.
 
 
 These tidings shepherds herd
 whilst watching oer their fold;
 twas by an angel unto them
 that night revealed and told
 
 To whom the angel spoke,
 and said, "be not afraid;
 be glad, you blessed shepherds,
 why are you so dismayed?
 
 Today I bring you news
 of gladness and of mirth,
 Which cometh to all peoples by
 this holy infants birth."
 
 Then was there with the angel
 a host from God on high
 An angel throng that sang their song
 when they to earth drew nigh!
 
 They praised the Lord our God,
 and our celestial king:
 "All glory be in paradise,"
 the heavenly host did sing
 
 And as the angel told them
 so to them did appear;
 they found the young child Jesus Christ
 with Mary his mother dear.
 
 All glory be to God
 that sitteth still on high,
 With praises and with triumph great
 and joyful melody.
