Latin.png Latin text In natali domini
Gaudent omnes angeli
Et cantant cum iubilo
Gloriam uni deo.
Virgo deum genuit, Virgo deum p[r]eperit, Virgo semper intacta.
Natus est Emanuel
Quem predixit Gabriel
Testis est Ezechiel
A patre processit El.
Virgo deum genuit, Virgo deum p[r]eperit, Virgo semper intacta.
Nunciavit angelus
Gaudium pastoribus
Christi nativitatem
Magnam jucunditatem.
Virgo deum genuit, Virgo deum p[r]eperit, Virgo semper intacta.
Christus natus hodie
Ex Maria virgine
Non conceptus semine
Apparuit hodie.
Virgo deum genuit, Virgo deum p[r]eperit, Virgo semper intacta.
Magi Deum adorant
Aurum, thus et myrrham dant
Regi regum domino
Gloria uni deo.
Virgo deum genuit, Virgo deum p[r]eperit, Virgo semper intacta.


English.png English translation On the Birthday of the Lord
Angels joy in glad accord,
And they sing in sweetest tone
Glory be to God alone.
God is born of maiden fair, Mary doth the Saviour bear; Mary ever pure.
Born is now Emmanuel,
He, announced by Gabriel,
He, Whom Prophets old attest,
Cometh from His Father’s Breast.
God is born of maiden fair, Mary doth the Saviour bear; Mary ever pure.
These good news an Angel told
To the shepherds by their fold,
Told them of the Saviour’s Birth,
Told them of the joy for earth.
God is born of maiden fair, Mary doth the Saviour bear; Mary ever pure.
Born today is Christ the child,
Born of Mary undefiled,
Born the King and Lord we own;
Glory by to God alone.
God is born of maiden fair, Mary doth the Saviour bear; Mary ever pure.
See the wise their gifts unfold,
Incense, myrrh, and royal gold;
Kneeling to the eternal King,
Glory to our God! they sing.
God is born of maiden fair, Mary doth the Saviour bear; Mary ever pure.


Alternative translation
Note: This translation was executed for the purpose of fitting to the existing musical structure and original Latin rhyme scheme. It is not intended as a "pure" or literal translation.

On our savior's birthdate
all the angels celebrate
and they sing in holy love:
'Glory be to God above!
God is born of a virgin, God was borne by a virgin, by a virgin ever chaste.'
Now is born Emanuel
as foretold by Gabriel,
as attests Ezekiel,
as fulfilled on this Noël.
God is born of a virgin, God was borne by a virgin, by a virgin ever chaste.
Angles bring these precious words,
gladdening the shepherds,
telling of the Savior's birth,
of great joy for all the Earth:
'God is born of a virgin, God was borne by a virgin, by a virgin ever chaste.'
Born today is Christ the child,
born of Mary undefiled,
born this babe, so meek and mild,
magi, kings and beasts beguiled.
God is born of a virgin, God was borne by a virgin, by a virgin ever chaste.
Magi come from far away,
bringing gifts for Him today,
and adoring him with love:
'Glory be to God above!
God is born of a virgin, God was borne by a virgin, by a virgin ever chaste.'
