Dobranoc, Głowo święta — Lyrics
I adore Thee, Christ Jesus, my beloved holy one,
Thy face, all bruised and battered, God’s onlybegotten Son,
I adore Thee, King of Heaven, Son of Mary, God and human, Jesus Lord.
Thou the rose of Heaven’s garden, Word made Flesh for man’s salvation, crucified.
I adore Thee, head of Jesus, my beloved holy one,
Thy hair, dyed red with bloodstains, God’s onlybegotten Son.
I adore Thee, blood of Jesus, my beloved holy one,
Thy side, pierced by a soldier, God’s onlybegotten Son,
I adore Thee, Precious Jesus, my beloved holy one,
Thy feet, nailed to the Cross, God’s onlybegotten Son,

About Dobranoc, Głowo święta
This arrangement of the traditional Polish carol Dobranoc, Głowo święta (Goodnight, Holy Head) for SATB choir sets an English text of profound devotion. The music opens with a gentle, almost meditative quality, reflecting the tender contemplation of Christ’s suffering and sacrifice. The four voices weave together, often in homophony, to create a rich yet accessible harmonic texture. The text speaks of adoration for Jesus, focusing on the wounds and sacred heart, and his divine and human nature as the Son of God and Mary. It is a prayerful meditation, ideal for moments of reflection or quiet contemplation within a service.
