Just like to share a lovely hymn of the season:
verse (Habbakuk LXX 3:3): God shall come forth from Teman, and the Holy One from the mountain overshadowed by the forest!
Proceed, O Angelic Powers!
Go to Bethlehem!
Prepare the manger!
For the Word comes to be born!
Wisdom proceeds from the mouth of the Most High!
Receive, O Church of God, the announcement of salvation!
Enter into the joy of the Theotokos!
Let us sing with gladness, O peoples!
Blessed is He who comes! O our God!
Glory to Thee!
verse (Psalm LXX 109:3). From the womb before the morning star have I begotten Thee.
All creation!
Celebrate the feast with joy!
Rejoice with us, you heavens!
The Creator is born!
From the Virgin in the cave;
a young child comes
in the fullness of time!
Let us cry out to Him!
Blessed art Thou, our newborn God!
Glory to Thee!
verse (Psalm 77:16) The waters saw Thee, O God, the waters saw Thee and were afraid.
Proceed, O Angelic Powers!
Advance from Bethlehem
to the courses of the Jordan!
Come forth, O John!
Forsake the wilderness!
Prepare to rejoice, O river!
Let all the earth exult!
For Christ comes
to purify the sins of Adam
in His compassion.
verse (Psalm 114:3): The sea saw it and fled, Jordan was turned back.
O my Jesus!
Thou art Thyself the radiant Light!
Who hast enlightened all mankind!
Thou wast baptized in the streams of Jordan,
O Light! One in essence
with the Father of Lights!
In Thee all creation shines brightly!
and cries to Thee:
Blessed is our God made manifest!
Glory to Thee!
The beginning can be heard in an awesome Galician tune:
