Tim Pratt - When Christ was born of Mary free - текст песни (слова)

When Christ was born of Mary free, 
 in Bethlehem that fair city, 
 Angels sang there with mirth and glee
 in excelsis gloria. 
 
 Then shepherds saw these angels bright,
 to them appearing with great light,
 who said: “God's Son is born this night,
 in excelsis gloria.
 
 This King is come to save mankind 
 as in the Scripture truths we find,
 therefore this song have we in mind,
 in excelsis gloria.
 
 Then we pray, dear Lord, for thy great grace
 grant us the bliss to see thy face
 that we may sing to thy solace,
 in excelsis gloria.
