Christ is born! Glorify Him!

Christmas in the Carpatho-Rusyn Tradition

Noc Ticha - Silent Night

Noc ticha, noc svajta
V nebi svit krasota,
Bozij Syn pelenami povit,
Viflejemskoj vertepilezit.
Spi Mladenec Svjatoj, spi Mladenec Svjatoj

Noc ticha, noc svajta
I svitia i cista,
Slavit Radostnyi anhelov chor,
Daleko ohlasajet prostor.
Nad usnuvsej zeml'i, nad usnuvsej zeml'i

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,
Round yon virgin Mother and Child.
Holy Infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy Night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the savior is born!
Christ the savior is born.

Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, Love's Pure Light,
Radiant beams from Thy Holy Face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
