천사 찬송하기를 거룩하신 구주께

Representative Text

1 천사 찬송하기를 거룩하신 구주께
영광돌려 보내세 구주 오늘 나셨네
크고 작은 나라들 기뻐 화답하여라
영광 받을 왕의 왕 베들레헴에 나신 주
영광 받을 왕의 왕 베들레헴에 나신 주

2 오늘 나신 예수는 하늘에서 내려와
처녀 몸에 나셔서 사람 몸을 입었네
세상 모든 사람들 영원하신 주님께
영광 돌려 보내며 높이 찬양하여라
영광 돌려 보내며 높이 찬양하여라

3 의로우신 예수는 평화의 왕이시고
세상 빛이 되시며 우리 생명 되시네
죄인들을 불러서 거듭나게 하시고
영생하게 하시니 왕께 찬양하여라
영생하게 하시니 왕께 찬양하여라
