+ GOD IS BEING BORN!

 The heaven and earth become one today,
for Christ is born.
God came down to the earth today,
and man ascended to heaven.
The One invisible by nature
is seen in his body today
through the human nature of Christ.
So let us cry out praising him:
GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST AND PEACE ON EARTH,
for your coming down, O Savior,
gave us an abundance of gifts.  May you be praised!
