Original text and translations

Latin text

Quem pastores laudavere,
quibus angeli dixere:
absit vobis iam timere,
Natus est rex gloriae.

Ad quem reges ambulabant,
aurum, thus, myrrham portabant,
immolabant haec sincere
leoni victoriae.

Exultemus cum Maria,
in coelesti hierarchia,
natum promant voce pia,
dulci cum melodia.

Christo regi, Deo nato,
per Mariam nobis dato,
merito resonet vere
laus, honor et gloria.
