Full Lyrics
On the night that Christ was born
Angels to the shepherds sang
"Peace on earth, goodwill to men".
Herod heard them singing.
Kyrie eleison.
Then he for his soldiers sent,
Spilled the blood of children.
Thousand on thousand year
Runs the tearfilled river.
Ululamus.
Was that birth the only hour
When the world lay peaceful?
Will we evermore again
Hear the sound of angels:
Pax vobiscum?
