Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Distinguish
Шаблон:Lang is an Italian Christmas carol composed by Pietro Yon in 1917. The melody was used by Frederick H. Martens in his English language carol "When Blossoms Flowered 'mid the Snows". The melody and lyrics of the chorus are derived from the chorus of "Adeste Fideles" (O Come All Ye Faithful).
The music historian Salvatore Basile notes: "The song would achieve the near-impossible feat of surviving in the standard holiday repertoire, with important performances, innumerable recordings, and every kind of vocal and instrumental arrangement."[1]

<poem>When blossoms flowered 'mid the snows
Upon a winter night, Was born the Child, the Christmas Rose, The King of Love and Light. The angels sang, the shepherds sang, The grateful earth rejoiced; And at His blessed birth the stars Their exultation voiced. O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. Again the heart with rapture glows To greet the holy night, That gave the world its Christmas Rose, Its King of Love and Light. Let ev'ry voice acclaim His name, The grateful chorus swell. From paradise to earth He came That we with Him might dwell. O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. Note: This is not a literal translation of the Italian.</poem> |
<poem>In the humble hut,
In cold and poverty The Holy infant is born, Who the world will adore. Hosanna, hosanna, sing With a joyous heart, Your shepherds and angels, O King of light and love. Come let us adore, Come let us adore, Come let us adore The Lord. O beautiful boy do not cry Do not cry, Redeemer! Your mother cradles you, Kisses you, O Savior. Hosanna, hosanna, sing With a joyous heart, Your shepherds and angels, O King of light and love. Come let us adore, Come let us adore, Come let us adore The Lord. Oh! Come let us adore, Oh! Let us adore the Lord, Come, come, Come let us adore, Let us adore The Lord.</poem> |
