Original text and translations

Latin text

Tollite hostias,

et adorate Dominum

in atrio sancto eius.

Laetentur coeli,

et exultet terra

a facie Domini,

quoniam venit.

English translation

Praise the Lord of hosts, (1)

and adore God

in His holy place.

Rejoice, heaven,

and exult, all the earth

before the Lord,

who comes.

(1) The first line literally means 'Bring offerings' (Psalm 96, verse 8).

German translation

Alle Welt freue sich:

Christ ist geboren,

Gottes Sohn kam in die Welt

uns zum Heil erkoren.

Jauchzet ihr Himmel,

frohlocke du Erde,

bringet Ehre und Ruhm dem Herrn,

Alleluja.
