"Boh predvichnyi narodyvsia" is in the "Bohohlasnyk" - a Ukrainian anthology of pious songs, which was published in Pochayiv Monastery during the late eighteenth century.
The poet Ivan Franko considered this the best of all Ukrainian church songs, calling it "a pearl among carols."
[1] Pryishov dnes iz nebes, Shchob spasty liud svii ves, I utishyvsia.
Oznaimyv tse Anhel Bozhyi Napered pastyriam A potim zvizdariam I zemnym zviriam.
When Christ was born of the Virgin, A star stood where the Son, And Mother, the most pure, Were sheltered that night.
