Christmas is a Time for Jubilation! On the Seventh Day of Christmas, Exult with Mozart Exsultate, Jubilate!


Rejoice, resound with joy,
O you blessed souls,
singing sweet songs,
In response to your singing
let the heavens sing forth with me.

The friendly day shines forth,
both clouds and storms have fled now;
for the righteous there has arisen
an unexpected calm.
Dark night reigned everywhere [before];
arise, happy at last,
you who feared till now,
and joyful for this lucky dawn,
give garlands and lilies with full right hand.

You, O crown of virgins,
grant us peace,
Console our feelings,
from which our hearts sigh.

N.B. There are three versions of this glorious masterpiece. Read more about its creation  here. And thank God for His gift of heavenly music that give Him honor and praise.

And check out Deanna Durbin with Leopold Stokowski singing the Alleluia - another glorious performance.

  1. Beautiful voice. The hard J of jubilate (instead of Y, yubilate) is the only off note.
