Lyrics: Anon

Natus est nobis hodie,
De pura virgine,
Rex Victoriæ,
Cui sol et omnia,
Luna et sydera,
Vernant per tempora.

Cognovit bos et asinus
Quod puer erat Dominus.
Benedicamus Domino
Qui regnat cum tripudio.

Born to us this day,
Of a pure virgin,
Is that king of victories,
Through whom the sun, the moon,
The stars and everything,
Burgeon through the seasons.

Ox and ass acknowledged
That the Child was the Lord.
Let us praise the Lord that reigns,
In sacred dance.
