Christmas Hymn

In the spirit of the Season of Announcements (i.e. the Syriac equivalent of Advent), I have translated a qolo from the Fenqitho for the Birth of Our Lord (specifically the Ramsho of Christmas from the Hoosoyo) promoted by seeing the drafts for the Liturgical Commission's new issues, and they've decided to eliminate all the Hoosoye qole in favor of some innovative psalmic tone with substance-less words.

I also transliterated the Syriac if anyone is interested in singing the hymn. Let us look forward with fear and reverence to the dawning of our Lord as we commemorate His first coming, and may we serve Him well until His next.
