Text Translation	God is with us. Hear ye people, even to the uttermost end of the earth. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light. The people that dwell in the shadow of death, Upon them the light has shined. For unto us a child is born! For unto us a son is given! And the government shall be upon his shoulder, And his name shall be called Wonderful! Counselor! The mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of peace. Hear ye people, even to the uttermost end of the earth. God is with us. Christ is born! —Adapted from the Orthodox Great Compline for Christmas Eve
