English translation
- 1.
- Hail, little boy
- Hail, little tender one,
- O little son,
- how good you are.
- You give up the heaven
- You are born in the world
- So that you may make yourself
- like us wretched mortals.
- 2.
- O supreme goodness!
- Today lofty deity
- Becomes lowly humanity.
- The eternal one is born.
- The immeasurable one is caught,
- And he is concealed beneath the
- guise of guilt
- 3.
- O virgin who bears a child,
- May thy blessed womb produce a son
- by the help of God.
- Rejoice, flower of virgins
- Rejoice, hope of mankind
- O spring which washes away
- An abundance of sin.
