Christmas Song
The Heavens are Singing
With Christmas fast approaching, take a moment to soak in the angelic song written by St. Bishop Nikolaj (of Zhicha) and performed by the group of Serbian musicians and children, with few scenes from Belgrade in the background. Video clip from the studio recording is also available on YouTube.
Angels are Singing
By Holy Bishop Nikolaj
The night glorious and the silent night,
above the cave the star alight,
inside the cave the Mother sleeps,
above Jesus the Angel watches.The Heavens are singing,
the shepherds are ringing,
the Angels are singing,
the Wise Men are telling:
“What the peoples awaited,
what the Prophets announced,
has now been made known,
known and shown:
Christ the Savior has been born,
for the salvation of us all.
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Bless us, O Lord!”
Special thanks for drawing my attention to this beautifully performed song to Kingsley Smith family.
P.S. One of the performers of the above song is Divna Ljubojevic, a well know Serbian Church chanter. You can hear her sing Eastern Orthodox liturgical chants here.
