V jasl'ach ležit

This Christmas hymn is from page 169 of Father Stefan Papp's Duchovňi Pisňi (1969).

Sources

This hymn appeared in the L'vov Pisnoslovets (1907) as hymn number 18, with six verses; the same six verses were reprintined in the 1932 collection Kolady, from Užhorod. Father Papp's version (above) provided slightly different verses of the first two verses, and re-written third verse.
