Christ-Mass: In Die Nativitatis Domini

A baby born
    in Bethlehem:
(and I heard
    from Heaven today).
The wise men
    saw and they
    followed that star:
(and I heard
    from Heaven today).
The shepherds heard
    the angels' song:
(and I heard
    from Heaven today).
A bell is ringing in the other bright world:
(and I heard from Heaven today).

This 2008 performance by Nowell Sing We Clear (Tony Barrand, Fred Breunig, Andy Davis and John Roberts) from the Latchis Theater in Brattleboro, Vermont, is of an old "call and response" song known as “I Heard From Heaven Today.”

Hurry on, my weary soul,
    and I heard from Heaven today
Hurry on, oh my weary soul,
    and I heard from Heaven today.
