1. Today without the guides of righteousness
The banners of victory flutter with good tidings

2. Since Gabriel the angel brought glad tidings
To Mary, and she was breathing in it

3. He said "Peace be upon you, our God
Has come upon you, and He is the intimate friend"

4. And He truly turns in repentance from the sins of His people
And settles on the throne of His Father and sits

5. Bring your branch, O Bethlehem, bearing
A son for it, whose father from it is silent
