Lulajże, Jezuniu, moja perełko,
Lulaj, ulubione me pieścidełko.
Lulajże, Jezuniu, lulajże, lulaj,
A Ty Go, Matulu, w płaczu utulaj.
Zamknijże znużone płaczem powieczki,
Utulże zemdlone łkaniem wardzeczki.
Lulajże, Jezuniu...
Lulajże, piękniuchny mój aniołeczku,
Lulajże, maluchny świata kwiateczku.
Lulajże, Jezuniu...
Lulajże różyczko najozdobniejsza,
Lulajże, lilijko najprzyjemniejsza.
Lulajże, Jezuniu...
Lulajże, przyjemna oczom gwiazdeczko,
Lulaj, najśliczniejsze świata słoneczko.
Lulajże, Jezuniu...
Matuniu kochana, już odchodzimy,
Małemu Dzieciątku przyśpiewujemy.
Lulajże, Jezuniu...
Cyt cyt cyt, już zaśnie małe Dzieciątko,
Patrz jeno, jak to śpi niby kurczątko.
Lulajże, Jezuniu...
Cyt cyt cyt, wszyscy się spać zabierajcie,
Mojego Dzieciątka nie przebudzajcie.
Lulajże, Jezuniu...

34. Przybieżeli do Betlejem pasterze,
Grając skocznie Dzieciąteczku na
lirze.
Chwała na wysokości, chwała na
wysokości,
A pokój na ziemi.
Oddawali swe ukłony w pokorze
Tobie z serca ochotnego, o Boże!
Chwała na wysokości...
Anioł Pański sam ogłosił te dziwy,
Których oni nie słyszeli, jak żywi.
Chwała na wysokości...
Dziwili się napowietrznej muzyce
i myśleli, co to będzie za Dziecię?
Chwała na wysokości...
Oto mu się wół i osioł kłaniają,
Trzej królowie podarunki oddają.
Chwała na wysokości...
I anieli gromadami pilnują
Panna czysta wraz z Józefem
piastują
Chwała na wysokości...
Poznali Go Mesjaszem być
prawym
Narodzonym dzisiaj Panem
łaskawym
Chwała na wysokości...
My go także Bogiem, Zbawcą już
znamy
I z całego serca wszyscy
kochamy
Chwała na wysokości...
