English translation
Sing your psalms to Christ,
the begotten Son of God,
sing your psalms to the Redeemer.
To the Lord, the little Child
lying in a manger bed.
A small Child lies in the manger.
All the blessed angels fall before Him
and sing.
Sing your psalms to Christ,
the begotten Son of God,
sing your psalms to the Redeemer.
