Angelus ad pastores ait:

annuncio vobis gaudium magnum:

quia natus est vobis hodie salvator mundi.

Alleluja.

Gloria in excelsis Deo

et in terra pax hominibus bonæ voluntatis

Alleluja.

The angel says to the shepherds:

I bring you tidings of great joy

For unto you is born today the Saviour of the world.

Glory to God in the highest,

and in earth peace, goodwill towards men.
