Polish (Original Language)

1. W żłobie leży, któż pobieżyKolędować małemuJezusowi Chrystusowi,Dziś nam narodzonemu?Pastuszkowie przybywajcie,Jemu wdzięcznie przygrywajcieJako Panu naszemu!

2. My zaś sami z piosneczkamiZa wami pospieszymy,A tak tego MaleńkiegoNiech wszyscy zobaczymy,Jak ubogo narodzony,Płacze w stajni położony,Więc Go dziś ucieszymy.

English

1. Infant holy, infant lowlyFor his bed a cattle stallOxen lowing, little knowingChrist the babe is Lord of allSwiftly winging, angels singingBells are ringing, tidings bringingChrist the babe is Lord of all

2. Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keepingVigil ‘til the morning newSaw the glory, heard the storyTidings of a gospel trueThus rejoicing, free from sorrow,Praises voicing, greet the morrowChrist the babe was born for you

3. Stars were gleaming, shepeherds dreamingAnd the night was dark and chillAngel’s story rang with gloryShepherds heard it on the hillAh, that singing, hear it ringingEarthward winging, Christmas bringingHearken! We can hear it still
