Steeleye Span [1973] - Gaudete



Rejoice ye, rejoice ye!
Christ is born
Of the Virgin Mary –
Rejoice!

The time of grace has come—
What we have wished for;
Songs of joy
Let us give back faithfully.

God has become man,
With nature marvelling,
The world has been renewed
By the reigning Christ.

The closed gate of Ezekiel
Is passed through,
Whence the light is risen;
Salvation has been found.

Therefore, let our assembly
Now sing in brightness
Let it bless the Lord:
Salvation to our King.

British folk rock group Steeleye Span had a hit in 1973 with the a cappella recording of the song above. Guitarist Bob Johnson had heard the song when he attended a folk-carol service with his father-in-law in Cambridge, and brought it to the attention of the rest of the band.

Gaudete is a sacred Christmas carol, thought to have been composed in the 16th century. It was included in Piae Cantiones, a collection of Finnish/Swedish sacred songs published in 1581.​
