The Earth has taken shelter of the night

And all the ways drown deep inside,

All voices became silent and the eyes are closed tight

Under the power of the darkness falling wide.

Then sound of the heavens opened doors —

Along to hymn of solemn winds so strong

A glorious angel came to Earth

And many choirs sang along:

– ”Oh, people, people! Praise the God!

He came to you with love

To find a way to people’s hearts,

A little child sent from above.”

The constellations move in skies above,

And Milky Way has made a different turn

To city of the Bethlehem it ran

To manger where the baby has been born.

The star has been born in the night to stay —

There is a banner in the wondrous skies,

Kings with the camels are on their way

As every heart to cradle so aspires.

And all the shepherds, next to flocks they sit

Next to a manger they all see

An infant-God and Christ they watch in it

As their lambs so quietly bleat.

And He just watches them with light so pure

And gives the joy He has for all inside.

Mother of God, just like a moon through door,

Reflects all glory with her divine light.

What shall one give to baby Christ,

How can one show the love so strong?

– Live with your hearts all pure inside,

Gifts – acts of faith that come along!
