4 arr. Copyright - Michael Locke-Paddon 2019

Translation:
Refrain: Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary, Rejoice!
1. At this time of grace and longed-for blessing,
Love faithfully offers a song of praise.
2. God is made human in this wonderful birth:
The world is cleansed through the rule of Christ.
3. The gate of heaven now opens which to us was closed,
Sending forth transforming light through which holiness is found.
4. Therefore we meet in pure songs of joy;
We bless the Lord, King of our Salvation.
History from Wikipedias:
The Piae Cantiones is a collection of late medieval Latin songs first published in 1582. It includes Latin
and Swedish/Latin songs that were sung in Finnish cathedral schools. Most of the songs are religious in nature,
some are secular.
The songs of Piae Cantiones were popular in Finnish schools until the 19th century but fell gradually into
disuse. However, a newly awakened interest in this old music has made them quite popular and they belong to
the standard repertoire of any Finnish or Swedish choir. In this way, Piae Cantiones still enriches Finnish
spiritual life.
