An Arabic Christmas Carol (Byzantine Hymn of the Nativity)

A voice from the unheard voices of the Christians of the Middle East who have been witnessing to faith in the Saviour since His incarnation in their midst.Today is born of a virgin He who holds the whole creation in His hand. (3X)He whose Essence none can touch is bound in swaddling clothes as a Child.God who in the beginning established the heavens lies in a manger.He who rained manna on His people in the wilderness is fed on milk from His mother's breast.The Bridegroom of the Church summons the wise men.The Son of the Virgin accepts their gifts.We worship Thy Birth O Christ. (3X)Show us also Thy Divine Theophany.Chanted by Reader Nader Hajjar, Ottawa.Video by kalamation and Fr. Francois Beyrouti.
