LYRICS (Traditional, Arranged by Danú)
on oíche úd i mBeithil
beidh tagairt faoi ghrian go brách
don oíche úd i mBeithil
gur tháinig an Briathar slán
tá gríosghrua ar spéartha,
's an talamh 'na chlúdach bán
féach Íosagán sa chliabhán
's an Mhaighdean á dhiúl le grá
Ar leacain lom an tsléibhe
'Sea ghlacann na haoirí scáth
Ar oscailt gheal na spéire
tá teachtaire Dé ar fáil
céad glóir anois don Athair
i bhFlaitheasa thuas go hard
is feasta fós ar talamh
d'fheara, dea-mhéin síocháin
Translation to English
I sing of a night in Bethlehem
a night as bright as dawn
I sing of that night in Bethlehem
the night the Word was born
the skies are glowing gaily
the earth in white is dressed
see Jesus in his cradle
drink deep in His mother's breast
and there on a lonely hillside
the shepherds bow down in fear
when the heavens open brightly
and God's message rings out so clear
glory now to the Father
in all the heavens high
and peace to His friends on earth below
is all the angels cry
Recorded in December 2018

I imagine this as a song sung in an elven hall. What happened to the magic of our magical Mother Earth? She will reawaken. Doubt is purged by this song.

But it's a Christian song not pagan ?
