Nativitas tua, Dei Genitrix Virgo,
gaudium annuntiavit universo mundo :
Ex te enim ortus est Sol iustitiae, Christus Deus noster,
qui solvens maledictionem dedit benedictionem,
et confundens mortem donavit nobis vitam sempiternam.

English.png English translation

Thy Nativity, O Virgin Mother of God,
announced joy to the whole world:
For out of thee arose the Sun of justice, Christ our God,
who paying for the curse, gave blessing,
and confounding death, gave us life eternal.
