Cicha Noc

Representative Text

1 Cicha noc, święta noc, pokój niesie ludziom wszem
A u żłobka Matka święta czuwa sama uśmiechnięta

Biegną wielce zadziwieni za anielskim głosem pieni,
Gdzie się spełnił cud, gdzie się spełnił cud.

Pan wielkiego mayestatu, niesie dziś całemu światu
Odkupienie win, odkupienie win.
