Subject: Lyr Add: De la real Jerusalen
1. De la real Jerusalén Sale la estrella brillando, A los pastores va guiando Para el portal de Belén.
2. Venid zagales cantando Con sus crecidos anhelos, A ver un recién nacido Y en las escarchas del hielo.
3. Venid zagales cantando Con rendida adoración, Y lo que del cielo impío Bajó nuestra protección,
[4] Alojen con alma viva, Crianza de mi corazón, Dejó la vida en la cruz Por la humana redención,
[5] De la iglesia el fundamento De sus batallas bandera, De los hombres alegría y desde toda la sierra. (Verses run together in text at American Memory)
Translation
1. From royal Jerusalem rises the shining star, Guiding the shepherds to the portal of Bethlehem.
2. Come, the shepherds are singing with increased longing, Of the recent birth that was announced from the heavens.
3. Come, shepherds, sing with adoration of that which came down From godless heavens for our protection.
4. Let them shelter with living soul, created in my heart; He left his life on the cross for human redemption;
5. The foundation of the church, the flag of his battles, For the happiness of mankind from all the mountains.
