Heaven and earth are united today, for Christ is born.

Today has God come upon earth and man gone up to heaven.

Today for man's sake is seen in the flesh He who by nature is invisible.

Therefore let us also give glory and cry aloud to Him:
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace!

Which Thy coming has bestowed upon us O Savior, glory to Thee!
("Heaven and Earth are United Today," Nativity Hymn)
