DESCRIPTION
This charming Bohemian carol is unfortunately not very well known. However, it would make a delightful addition to your holiday concert or church program.
Since my arrangement is quite an easy piece — written for two-part treble choir and piano — it would be particularly appropriate for a children's choir. But in spite of its simplicity, the piece is nonetheless quite touching.
TEXT INFO
Let Our Gladness Have No End
Traditional Bohemian text, translation unknown
Complete text:
Let our gladness have no end, Hallelujah!
Unto earth did Christ descend, Hallelujah!
On this day God gave us
Christ, His Son, to save us,
Hallelujah!
See the loveliest blooming rose, Hallelujah!
From the branch of Jesse grows, Hallelujah!
(Refrain)
Into flesh is made the Word, Hallelujah!
'Tis our refuge, Christ the Lord, Hallelujah!
(Refrain)
