¶Lyrics / Text

::::''1.'' :A day, a day of glory! :A day that ends our woe! :A day that tells of triumph :Against our vanquished foe! :Yield, summer’s brightest sunrise, :To this December morn: :Lift up your gates, ye princes, :And let the Child be born! ::::''2.'' :With Gloria in excelsis :Archangels tell their mirth: :With Kyrie elëyson :Men answer upon earth: :And angels swell the triumph, :And mortals raise the horn, :Lift up your gates, ye princes, :And let the Child be born. ::::''3.'' :He comes, His throne the manger; :He comes, His shrine the stall; :The ox and ass His courtiers, :Who made and governs all: :The “House of Bread” His birth-place, :The Prince of wine and corn: :Lift up your gates, ye princes, :And let the Child be born. ::::''4.'' :Then bar the gates, that henceforth :None thus may passage win, :Because the Prince of Israel :Alone hath entered in: :The earth, the sky, the ocean :His glorious way adorn: :Lift up your gates, ye princes, :And let the Child be born. '''Lyrics:''' John M. Neale (1818-1866).
