Hodie nobis de coelo pax vera descendit:

Hodie illuxit nobis dies redemptionis novae,
reparationis antiquae,
felicitatis aeternae.

Today for us
true peace came down from heaven.

Today for all the world
the heavens rained sweetness.

Today for us hath dawned
the day of our redemption,
and of the restitution
of ancient everlasting bliss.
