Original text and translations
English text translation from Polish by Angela Morgan
- 1.
- Amid the silence of the solemn night,
- Sound the glad summons,
- "Lo the king of Light!
- Rouse, O shepherds, haste with singing
- Christ has come, salvation bringing,
- Born at Bethlehem."
- 2.
- Gladly the herdsmen sough the Holy Son,
- Found in a manger
- Christ the sinless one,
- Worshipped him with exultation,
- "God has brought us full salvation!
- Him we shall adore!"
- 3.
- Lord, we have hailed thee, many thousand years.
- Now through our darkness
- Lo, thy star appears.
- King and prophets long have named thee,
- Priests and martyrs all proclaimed thee,
- "Saviour of mankind."
