Lyrics: Matthew 2: 6,10-12

Et tu Bethlehem terra Juda, nequaquam minima es in principibus Juda: ex te enim exiet dux, qui regat populum meum Israël.
Videntes autem stellam gavisi sunt gaudio magno valde.
Et intrantes domum, invenerunt puerum cum Maria matre eius, et procidentes adoraverunt eum: et apertis thesauris suis obtulerunt ei munera, aurum, thus, et myrrham.
Et responso accepto in somnis ne reverterentur ad Herodem, per aliam viam reversi sunt in regionem suam.

And thou Bethlehem in the land of Judah, art not the least among the Princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come the governor that shall feed my people Israel.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with an exceeding great joy,
And went into the house, and found the babe with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him, and opened their treasures, and presented unto him gifts, even gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
And after they were warned of God in a dream, that they should not go again to Herod, they returned into their country another way.
