Original text and translations

Latin.png 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.

Exultemus cum Maria
In coelesti Hierarchia,
Natum premant voce pia,
Dulci cum melodia.
Magnum est nomen Domini, Immanuel
Quod est nobiscum Deus;
Redemptori Domino, redempti iubilemus,
Hic est dies et annus iubilaeus;
Pueri concinite et psallite,
Voce pia dicite et plaudite.

Christo Regi Deo nato,
Per Mariam nobis dato,
Merito resonet vere
Laus, honor et gloria.
Pastores palam dicite in Bethlehem
Quem genuit Maria:
Laus, honor et gloria, sit Deo in excelsis,
Hominibus pax bonae voluntatis,
Sion lauda Dominum cum plausibus,
Salvatorem hominum in secula.
