Tiha Noć

Representative Text

1 Tiha noć, sveta noć!
Ponoć je, spava sve,
Samo Marija s Josipom bdi,
Divno Djetešce pred njima spi,
Rajski resi ga mir,
Rajski resi ga mir.

2 Tiha noć, sveta noć!
Pjesmica andelska
Miljem otajnim napunja zrak,
Bajna svjetlost rasvjetljuje mrak,
Kraj pretvara u raj,
Kraj pretvara u raj.

3 Tiha noć, sveta noć!
Pastiri, amo svi
Pjevat Isusu andela poj
S majkom poklon prikazat mu svoj,
Srce dat mu na dar,
Srce dat mu na dar.
