Betlēmes zvaigzne (O gwiazdo Betlejemska) by Zygmunt Odelgiewicz — Lyrics

1. Jel atmirdzi, Betlēmes zvaigzne, pie manām debesīm. Es ilgojos ieraudzīt tavu gaismu nakts tumšumā. Ak, aizved mani uz stalli, kurā dus Dieva Dēls: Dievs–Cilvēks Jaunavai svētai dzimis, lai glābtu mūs. 2. Nav atrodams vairāk Viņš stallī, tukša ir silīte. Ak, Kristu, kur meklēt mums Tevi, kur ir Tavs mājoklis?

About Betlēmes zvaigzne (O gwiazdo Betlejemska)

This sacred Christmas carol for SATB choir in Latvian reflects on the Nativity and its meaning. The text begins by addressing the Star of Bethlehem, expressing a longing to see its light and be led to the stable where the Son of God was born to save humanity. The second verse contemplates the absence of the infant Christ from the manger, prompting a search for Him and the offering of a sacrifice of love at the altar. The final stanza draws a parallel between Christ's humble birth in the stable and the soul, asking Him to come into the singer's heart if He did not despise the lowly manger.
