peer agreement (net): +5God is born, great powers tremble Explanation: God is born, great powers tremble 1. God is born, great powers tremble, Lord of Heaven lies forsaken. Fire is frozen, splendor darkens, feeble nature God has taken. Lowly born, yet Lord to Praises, Mortal yet the King of Ages. Now indeed the Word made Flesh has come on earth to dwell among us. 2. Where, oh heaven, is thy splendor, dimmed is now your starry azure. Earth now holds in lowly manger, the divine unfathomed Treasure! God e'en now in pain does glory as unfolds Redemption's story. Now indeed the Word made Flesh has come on earth to dwell among us. http://www.geocities.com/cigneto/thctxt/en/godisborn1.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2006-11-15 10:41:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or Around Christmas, I always think about my favorite Christmas hymn: “God is Born” (”Bóg się rodzi”). I’ve only got one recording of it, on an old cassette entitled “An English Christmas.” It is the National Christmas Hymn in Poland, where it originated. Here’s what I’ve been able to transcribe from the English version I have: “God is Born” God is born and night is shaken He the Heaven’s King lies naked. The living Word knows brightness darkened, He the Limitless takes limit. Born disdained yet worship given, Mortal, yet the Lord eternal. Now indeed the Word made flesh Has come on earth to dwell among us. What hast thou, O Heaven better, God abandoned thy perfection? Here to share the trial and sorrow Of His poor, beloved people. Suffered much and suffered dearly, For we all were guilty sinners, Now indeed the Word made flesh Has come on earth to dwell among us. Born into a common stable, He is cradled in a manager. How then tell me what surrounds you Hay and peace and simple shepherds. You were ones who had the honor Him to greet, and kings came bowing. Now indeed the Word made flesh Has come on earth to dwell among us. http://blog.wilcoxusa.net/?cat=10 »»» oficjalna wersja ??? |
