God's Son is born

Boh predvicnyj

This setting of Boh sja raždajet is taken from the 1969 booklet Christ is Born: Glorify Him. The English translation is by Monsignor William Levkulic.

The translation here is somewhat "free." See the article on the original hymn for a more literal translation.

This setting was originally printed in the booklet Christ is Born: Glorify Him (1969), by Monsignor Levkulic.

It was later published in the 1970 collection Byzantine Liturgical Chant, on page C7 (number 10 in the Christmas Carols section), and in the Hymns section of Monsignor Levkulic's The Divine Liturgy, a Book of Prayer (1978).

A different English translation (by J. Michael Thompson) can be found on page 984 of the The Divine Liturgy: An Anthology for Worship (Ukrainian Catholic, 2004), titled "God now is born here."
