Heaven and Earth (Nebo i Zeml'a) — Lyrics
Heaven and Earth now
welcome their Redeemer.
Angels and people
join in a celebration.
Salvation is begun,
born is the Virgin’s Son,
angel voices ringing,
wise men gifts are bringing,
Shepherds tell the story,
star proclaims the glory,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

About Heaven and Earth (Nebo i Zeml'a)
Heaven and Earth now welcome their Redeemer, as angels and people join in celebration. This traditional English Christmas carol paints a vivid picture of the Nativity, with angel voices ringing and wise men bringing gifts. Shepherds tell the story while a bright star proclaims the glory of Christ's birth in Bethlehem. The SATB voicing allows for a rich and celebratory sound, making it a fitting choice for a Christmas concert or service. The text emphasizes the divine nature of the newborn King, born of a Virgin, who is the Lord of heaven and earth and the beginning of salvation.
