Eis dos anjos a harmonia (1)

Representative Text

1. Eis que os anjos, co’armonia, cantam glória ao novo Rei,
Paz aos homens e alegria, paz com Deus e Sua Lei.
Ouçam, povos exultantes: Ergam salmos triunfantes
Aclamando seu Senhor; nasce Cristo, o Redentor!

[Estribilho:]
Toda a Terra e altos Céus
Cantem glória ao Homem-Deus!

2. Cristo, eternamente honrado, do Seu trono Se ausentou.
Cristo, entre homens encarnado, Deus conosco Se mostrou.
Quão bondosa divindade! Quão gloriosa humanidade!
Salve, Glória de Israel, Luz do mundo, Emanuel! [Estribilho]

3. Cante o povo resgatado, glória ao Príncipe da Paz;
Deus em Cristo revelado, vida e luz ao mundo traz;
Nasce a fim de renascermos. Vive para revivermos.
Rei, Profeta e Salvador! Louvem todos ao Senhor! [Estribilho]
