Lyrics: Anon

Magnum nomen Domini Emanuel,
Quod annuntiatum est per Gabriel,
Hodie apparuit, apparuit in Israel
Per Mariam virginem in Bethlehem.
Eya, eya. Virgo deum genuit
Sicut divina voluit clementia.
Gaudete, gaudete,
Christus natus hodie.

As foretold by Gabriel,
Emanuel, the Great Name of the Lord,
Has appeared in Israel this day,
Born in Bethlehem of the Virgin Mary.
Huzza. A virgin bore a God,
As divine mercy willed.
Rejoice, rejoice
This day Christ is born.
