God sent his Son
God sent his only Son from heavens to the earth
as the light for all the world.
God’s Word has hid Himself in the Virgin Mary’s womb,
and from her He took his flesh.
His star was seen on high, shining brightly in the East,
as foretold in Balaam’s words.
Wise men, led by the star to the place where Jesus lay,
honored him with finest gifts.
Hal-lel. Hal-lel. Hal-lel-loonoh!
(Praise him! Praise him! Praise him, our Lord!)

This child Isaiah called “wonderful and Mighty God”
and proclaimed him as the Lord:
“Upon his shoulders rest full authority
and power over all the universe.”
In truth, he is the Word and the Voice of God above,
roaring with a lion’s strength.
Yet, as a gentle lamb, silently and peacefully,
he now dwells in Mary’s womb.
Hal-lel. Hal-lel. Hal-lel-loonoh!
(Praise him! Praise him! Praise him, our Lord!)

Nine months within her womb, Mary carried Christ,
our Lord, he who holds the universe.
She felt no weight at all she bore the mighty One.
Truly, he is God and man! Amazement filled the earth
since she had been made so pure, keeping her virginity:
Before the child was born, and at birth,
and afterwards, and for eternity.
Hal-lel. Hal-lel. Hal-lel-loonoh!
(Praise him! Praise him! Praise him, our Lord!)

His soul and body joined is a perfect unity
when he made the womb his home.
The oil of joy was poured by the Father from above
to anoint him as the Christ.
His life in Mary’s womb, his conception,
and his birth, these were great and wonderful.
We see the Spirit’s work in the Son of God
made man, as portrayed in Ephrem’s words.
Hal-lel. Hal-lel. Hal-lel-loonoh!
(Praise him! Praise him! Praise him, our Lord!)

We sing to you, O Lord. From you Mother you appeared;
truly God and truly man!
In You two natuers dwell; and in You two wills reside;
yet You are, in person, one.
We praise and give thanks, God the Father,
and the Son, and the Spirit, three in one.
O strong and Holy God, undivided Trinity,
you are blest from age to age.
Hal-lel. Hal-lel. Hal-lel-loonoh!
(Praise him! Praise him! Praise him, our Lord!)

Holy, holy, holy,
Holy, holy, holy, mighty Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your great glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who has come
and will come in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
Have mercy on us, Almighty Father.
Have mercy on us
We praise you.
We bless you.
We adore you.
We glorify you.
We profess our faith in you and we ask you:
Have compassion on us, O God.
Have mercy on us and hear us.

Holy, holy, holy mighty Lord;
Only Son born of God the Father.
Holy, holy, holy mighty Lord;
Christ the true Light, who dawned from Mary.

Holy, holy, holy mighty Lord;
Who became man for our salvation.
Holy, holy, holy mighty Lord;
Who in flesh dawned upon creation

Holy, holy, holy saving Lord;
Angels came down and sang his praises.
Holy, holy, holy saving Lord;
Who is carried be blessed Mary.
