Christmas songs: Nu syt, Oh long night

december 21 2003

Christmas song,

translation from old dutch "Nu syt wellecome"

Yes, be welcome Jeso

Word from God above

Now descend high heaven

as us you love

Oh, be welcome in our midth and everywhere on Earth

Your sweet being comforts, leads lost souls to rebirth

Kyrieleis

Shepherds guarding sheep flock, they heard angels sing

Peace on Earth to mankind and everything

Go to Bethlem's stable and you'll find the Lord Christ there

He's between the beasts which give warmth and treat Him fair

Kyrieleis

Learned wise kings from eastern countries far away

mounted on their camels to see and pray;

offring precious herbs and myrrh and also lots of gold,

honouring the Child who's the Saviour like was told

Kyrieleis
