Cicha noc! W górze skrzy

Representative Text

1 Cicha noc! W górze skrzy
mnóstwo gwiazd, wszystko śpi,
lecz z ócz Maryi odleciał sen,
w świętej ciszy Najwyższego Syn
leży na łonie Jej;

2 Święta noc! dobrą wieśec
anioł sam spieszy nieść
wiernym pasterzom strzegącym stad,
że Zbawiciel już przyszedł na świat,
którym jest Chrystus Pan,

3 Cicha noc! Święta noc!
Chryste, Twej łaski moc
grzechu rozpędza, rozprasza cień;
błysnął zbawienia radosny dzień
nam w narodzeniu Twym,
nam w narodzeniu Twym.
