Text from 6th century poem by St. Romanoff ("The Singer")
Music by Eric Gilbert ©2011 Christ Church East Bay Music

lyrics

The Virgin this day gives birth to One beyond all nature
And the earth drawls in
Offering a cave
To One who cannot be approached

Angels with shepherds give glory
and Magi make their way
By following after a star
For there is born to us a tiny child
who is God before all times began
Before all times began

Bethlehem reopens Eden’s gate
Come let us behold
What delights we have found hidden here
O Come and taste Gifts of paradise from within a cave

There we saw an unwatered root
budding forth forgiveness
There we found the still-sealed well
from which we longed to drink
And so to this we came
To see the birthplace of a tiny child
who is God before all times began

Noel noel Hallelujah
Emmanuel has come to us.
Noel noel Sing Gloria
For Jesus Christ is born to us
Noel noel Hallelujah
Emmanuel now flesh and blood
Noel noel We praise Your name
Our God before all time began

Noel Hallelujah
Emmanuel has come
Noel Sing Gloria
For Christ has come to us
