Спаситель,Сын Марии. 2. Зачем же в яслях Он лежит, Где овцам корм давали? Чтоб всякий мог у ног Его Сложить свои печали. Припев. 3. Ему в дар золото и ладан, И смирну принесите- Он Царь царей, пред Ним скорей Дверь сердца отворите. Припев. 16век англ. мелодия
What child is this, who, laid to rest On Mary's lap is sleeping Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring him laud The babe, the son of Mary.
Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce him through The cross be borne for me, for you Hail, hail the Word made flesh The babe, the son of Mary!
So bring him incense, gold and myrrh Come, peasant, king to own him The King of kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone him.
Raise, raise the song on high The Virgin sings her lullaby Joy, joy, for Christ is born The babe, the son of Mary!
