Let the Heavens and the Earth Rejoice
1. Let the heavens and the earth rejoice / Let us sing with joy:
The Baby God is born / Son of the Virgin Mary.
2. O my Baby Jesus, / With You I am well;
I want nothing of this world, / Nothing seems good to me.
3. Enter, shepherds, enter / Through this sacred portal,
Come and adore the child / Lying in the straw.
4. Enter, shepherds, enter / Through this portal;
Come and adore the child / In his holy birth.
5. This night, at midnight, / A blessed night,
Jesus was born of Mary, / Who remained ever immaculate.
6. O my Baby Jesus / Born in poverty
Take possession of my soul, / My only wealth.
7. The Child who was born / Of the Virgin full of grace,
Entered and left through her / Like the sun through the windowpane.
8. Come all, come all, / To the stable of Bethlehem
To adore the Baby God, / Who was born for our good.
9. I only have to offer You / A soul that loves You well:
I have no better gift, / Take it, my sweet love!
10. O my dear child / O my beautiful perfect love!
You are cold, oh come / Cry here on my breast.
