Jesus! You are now being born. You come down from heaven to this earth now, To us, who have awaited you so eagerly.
Together with all living beings on this earth, “Let us sing in unison” to praise you. “Let our hearts unite” to honor you.
As the guiding star shines brightly, The angels sing and soar through the night sky. You break the barrier between heaven and earth, reconciling God and us, The angels proclaim the news of your grace To all people, without distinction.
“There are many who cannot say, ‘It’s good to be born.'” Many people cannot say it. Among those close to us, in this country, in distant lands, …Crying, resenting, nearly dying… You know countless people living on the verge of physical and spiritual death.
And now, you come to be born. Here and now. You come to bring light to the darkness in our hearts. Here and now.
For our friends who are not here with us, Let us raise our cups today. Let us sing for joy. Christ is born! Let us worship and praise!
