Вести ангельской внемли

Representative Text

1. Вести ангельской внемли:
Царь родился всей земли!
Милость, мир Он всем дарит,
Грешных с Богом примирит.
Все народы вознеситесь,
С ангелами съединитесь;
Вифлеему песнь поём, —
Царь Христос родился в нём.
Вести ангельской внемли:
Царь родился всей земли!

2. Прославлять Христа наш долг:
Царь Христос, Предвечный Бог,
Вот к концу веков рожден
От пречистой девы Он!
В плоти Сам Господь явился,
Образ взяв раба смирился,
Жить с людьми благоволил
Иисус Эммануил.
Вести ангельской внемли:
Царь родился всей земли!

3. Ты исполнил Свой завет
Солнце правды Ты и свет;
Ты для нас сошёл с небес,
К исцеленью всех воскрес;
Родился, оставив славу,
Смерти упразднил державу;
Родился, чтоб нас поднять,
Нам рожденье свыше дать.
Вести ангельской внемли:
Царь родился всей земли!

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact.
