Day 11 - A New Joy Has Been Revealed (Но́ва ра́дість ста́ла)
A New Joy Has Been Revealed is one of the most famous Ukrainian carols. It is a vivid example of the close combination of religious and folk carol traditions.
A new joy has been revealed,
That never has been before,
Above the manger there's a bright star
Shining throughout the whole world.
Where Christ has been born,
From the Virgin incarnate,
Like one swaddled in diapers
A pauper born.
The shepherds with their lambs
Before that holy child
Fall down upon their knees,
The King and God they praise Him.
Oh you King, oh King,
Heavenly soverign Power,
Grant years of good fortune
To this home and farmland.
To this home and farmland
And to her mistress,
Grant years of good fortune
To our glorious Ukraine.
We ask of Thee, Oh King,
We ask Thee at this moment,
Do grant freedom, fortune, and a good fate
To our mother Ukraine!
