О малый город Вифлеем

Representative Text

1 О малый город Вифлеем,
Ты спал спокойным сном,
Когда рождался вечный день
В безмолвии ночном.
Внезапно тьму рассеял
Небесный дивный свет;
Родился Тот, Кого народ
Ждал много много лет

2 Сошел Христос в долину слез,
Чтоб к небу нас привесть,
И в царство зла с небес пришла
Евангельская весть.
О, звезды! Весть о Чудном
Несите вдаль и вширь
И пойте песнь Тому, Кто есть,
Кто всем дарует мир

3 В тиши ночной дар неземной
Спустился к нам с высот.
Людским сердцам любовь Отца
Небесный дар дает.
Неслышно и незримо
Средь шума, бурь и гроз
Готовым Господа принять
Является Христос

4 О, Божий Сын! Нас не покинь,
Приди в любви Своей,
Грех изгони и в наши дни
Живи в сердцах людей.
Хор ангелов небесных
Поет о Боге сил
Живи в сердцах искупленных,
Иисус Еммануил!

Translator: Anonymous

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
