Heaven and Earth Now Triumphant is one of Ukraine's most famous carols (колядка/kolyadka). In the carol, the story of the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem, and other events in the Christmas story are told. Variants of a similar carol are also known in Belarus and Poland. The Polish kolęda Dzisiaj w Betlejem was first printed in a 1878 hymn book.
Heaven and Earth (Не́бо і зе́мля)
Heaven and earth, Heaven and earth now triumphant,
Angels and people, Angels and people celebrate merrily.
Chorus:
Christ was born, God became incarnate,
Angels are singing, the King soars,
Bows are given, shepherds play,
"A miracle, a miracle!" they say.
Good news in Bethlehem, good news in Bethlehem
The Immaculate Virgin, the Immaculate Virgin gave birth to a Son!
Chorus
The word of the Father, word of the Father took on flesh
In the darkness of the earth, the darkness of the earth, the sun shone.
Chorus
Angels serve, angels serve their King
And in the nativity scene, the nativity scene they do His will.
Chorus
Three glorious kings, three glorious kings come from the east
Frankincense and myrrh, frankincense and myrrh and gold are brought.
Chorus
They offer it to the king and God, to the king and God
Shepherds tell the people, Shepherds tell the people everything.
Chorus
And we bow down to the born, bow down to the born God,
Glory in the highest, Glory in the highest, Let's sing to him.
