John Tavener
Today the Virgin comes to the cave
To give birth to the Word eternal:
Rejoice, O World! With the Angels and the Shepherds
Give glory to the Child! Alleluia!
Mary, my wife, O Mary, my wife!
What do I see?
I took you blameless before the Lord
From the priests of the Temple. What do I see?
Rejoice, O World …
Joseph the Bridegroom, O Joseph the Bridegroom!
Do not fear.
God in his mercy has come down to earth,
He takes flesh in my womb, for all the world to see.

You, A Virgin giving birth.
Strange Mystery!
Rejoice, O World…

Do not fear.

He takes flesh in my womb for all the world to see.
Warned by the Angel we believe
That Mary gives birth inexplicable
To the infant, Christ, our God.
