ஓசையில்லா, தூய இரா

Representative Text

1 ஓசையில்லா, தூய இரா,
யாவுமே அமைதியாய்,
கன்னி மைந்தனும் அன்னையுமாய்,
தூய பாலன் பொன் மேனி யுடன்,
தூங்கு சாந்தமாய் நீயும்,
தூங்கிடு சாந்தமாய் நீ.

2 ஓசையில்லா, தூய இரா,
மேய்ப்பரும் நடுங்கிட,
விண்ணில் பேரொளி வீசிடவே,
தேவ தூதரும் பாடிடவே,
கிறிஸ்து தோன்றினாரே,
கிறிஸ்தேசு தோன்றினாரே.

3 ஓசையில்லா, தூய இரா,
தந்தையின் மைந்தனாம்,
ஒளிர்விடும் உந்தன் திவ்ய முகம்,
மீட்பின் வாஞ்சையின் சாந்தமன்றோ?
உந்தன் முன்னணை வந்தோம்,
உந்தன் முன்னணை வந்தோம்.

4 ஓசையில்லா, தூய இரா,
விந்தையாய் நட்சத்திரம்,
ஒளிர்ந்து வீசி நல் பாதை காட்ட,
சேர்ந்து தூதருடன் பாடுவோம்,
பிறந்தார் மீட்பரின்று,
பிறந்தார் கிறிஸ்து இன்று.

He scored the tune for tenor and bass soli (sung by Mohr and Gruber on that night) with the final phrase to be repeated in harmony (sung by the villag…
