Original text and translations
English 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).
