about

That Night in Bethlehem (Don Oíche Úd i mBeithil) 3.13
A haunting Christmas Carol about the events of the first Christmas Eve. The tune is traditional and text is by Aodh Mac Aingil Mac Cathmhaoil (1571-1626)
I love this version of lyrics by Irish language translator M.S. O’Brien

It’s of that night in Bethl’em
Which under the Sun’s e’er heard;
It’s of that night in Beth’lem
God published the uncut Word.
The skies’ face glows excited;
The earth in white is dressed.
Love sleeps within a fish creel
And drinks from a maiden’s breast.
Out on the open hillside,
No cover for shepherds’ fears
When bright the heavens open
And God’s messenger appears.
“And now a hundred glories
To the Father in highest heav’n!
On earth to men of goodwill
Now let there be peace giv’n.”
