Latin text

Quem pastores laudavere,

Quibus angeli dixere:

Absit vobis iam timere,

Natus est Rex gloriae.

Nunc angelorum gloria hominibus

Resplendulit in mundo,

Novi partus gaudia virgo Mater produxit,

Et Sol verus in tenebris illuxit.

Christus natus hodie ex virgine,

Sine virili semine est natus Rex.

Ad quem magi ambulabant,

Aurum, thus, myrrham portabant,

Immolabant haec sincere

Leoni victoriae.

Culpae datur hodie remissio

Laetentur homo reus.

Lux de caelo claruit pace iam reparata.

Et genitrix permansit illibata.

Christus natus hodie ex virgine,

Sine virili semine est natus Rex.

Christo Regi Deo nato,

Per Mariam nobis dato,

Merito resonet vere

Laus, honor et gloria.

Magnum nomen Domini, Immanuel,

Quod est: nobiscum Deus.

Redemptori Domino, redempti iubilemus,

Hic est dies et annus iubilaeus.

Pueri, concinnite et psallite,

Voce pia dicite et plaudite.
