Latin text
A solis ortus cardine
Adusque terræ limitem
Christum canamus Principem,
Natum Maria Virgine.
Beatus auctor sæculi
Servile corpus induit,
Ut carne carnem liberans
Non perderet quod condidit.
Clausæ parentis viscera
Cælestis intrat gratia;
Venter puellæ baiulat
Secreta quæ non noverat.
Domus pudici pectoris
Templum repente fit Dei;
Intacta nesciens virum
Verbo concepit Filium.
Enixa est puerpera
Quem Gabriel prædixerat,
Quem matris alvo gestiens
Clausus Ioannes senserat.
Foeno iacere pertulit,
Præsepe non abhorruit,
Parvoque lacte pastus est
Per quem nec ales esurit.
Gaudet chorus cælestium
Et Angeli canunt Deum,
Palamque fit pastoribus
Pastor, Creator omnium.
Iesu, tibi sit gloria,
Qui natus es de Virgine,
Cum Patre et almo Spiritu,
In sempiterna sæcula.
Amen.
