On the Twelfth Day of Christmas: Tidings of a Gospel True!

Infant holy, Infant lowly,
For His bed a cattle stall;
Oxen lowing, little knowing,
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing,
Noels ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.

Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
Vigil till the morning new
Saw the glory, heard the story,
Tidings of a Gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
praises voicing, greet the morrow:
Christ the Babe was born for you.



W zlobie lezy! Któz pobiezy
Koldowac malemu
Jezusowi Chrystusowi
Dzis do nas zeslanemu?
Pastuszkowie przybywajcie
Jemu wdziecznie przygrywajcie,
Jako Panu naszemu.

My zas sami z piosneczkami
Za wami pospieszymy,
A tek Tego Malenkiego
Niech wszyscy zobaczymy;
Jak ubogo narodzony
Placze w stajni polozony,
Wiec go dzis ucieszymy.



Lullaby, Jesu, like stars are Your eyes, --
Lullaby, Jesu, now hush Your low cries. --
'Round You the kind beasts and dear birds are standing;
They, too, do love You; o'er You they are watching.

Lullaby, Jesu, my flower of beauty,
Lullaby, Jesu, Thy Mother shall rock Thee.
Near You the shepherds in rev'rence are kneeling;
They, too, do love You; o'er You they are watching.



Lulajze, Jezuniu, moja perelko,
Lulaj, ulubione me piescidelko.
Lulajze, Jezuniu, lulajze, lulaj!
A ty Go, Matulu, w placzu utulaj.

Zamknijze znuzone placzem powieczki,
Utulze zemdlone lkaniem usteczki.
Lulajze, Jezuniu, lulajze lulaj!
A ty Go, Matulu, w placzu utulaj.

Lulajze, piekniuchny nasz Anioleczku,
Lulajze, wdzieczniuchny swiata Kwiateczku.
Lulajze, Jezuniu, lulajze lulaj!
A ty Go, Matulu, w placzu utulaj.

Lulajze, Rzyczko najozdobniejsza,
Lulajze, Lilijko najprzyjemniejsza.
Lulajze, Jezuniu, lulajze lulaj!
A ty Go, Matulu, w placzu utulaj.

Lulajze, przyjemna oczom Gwiazdeczko,
Lulaj, najsliczniejsze swiata Sloneczko.
Lulajze, Jezuniu, lulajze lulaj!
A ty Go, Matulu, w placzu utulaj.

  1. Totally off-topic: when I redo my kitchen, I'm going to put in a black and white tesserated floor just like the one in the choir at King's College Chapel.

  2. I'll take an entryway with the star inlay from the "Hark the Herald" video. It will have to be a rather grand entryway, so I guess it will have to wait until I inherit a couple billion from a long-lost uncle.
