A solis ortus cardine
adusque terrae limitem
Christum canamus principem,
natum Maria virgine.
Beatus auctor saeculi
servile corpus induit
ut carne carnem liberans
non perderet, quod condidit.
Clausae parentis viscera
caelestis intrat gratia,
venter puellae baiulat
secra, quae non noverat.
Domus pudici pectoris
templum repente fit Dei,
intacta nesciens virum
verbo creavit filium.
Enixa est puerpera
quem Gabriel praedixerat,
quem matris alvo gestiens
clausus Iohannes senserat.
Feno iacere pertulit,
praesaepe non abhorruit
parvoque lacte pastus est,
perquem nec ales esurit.
Gaudet chorus caelestium,
et angeli canunt Deum,
palamque fit pastoribus
pastor creator omnium.

Translation

From where the sun rises
to the very end of earth,
let us sing of Christ our prince
born of the virgin Mary.
The blessed creator of eternity
put on the body of a slave,
that by the flesh freeing the flesh
he might not lose what he had made.
Into the virgin body of a girl
the grace of heaven entered;
the womb of the virgin carried
mysteries she did not understand.
The home of this modest breast
suddenly became the temple of God;
untouched and not knowing man,
by a word alone she bore a son.
The woman brought forth a child
as Gabriel had foretold;
and leaping in his mother’s womb
John the Baptist knew his lord.
Brought to lie in the hay,
he did not shrink from the manger,
and with a little milk he was fed,
he who would not let birds go hungry.
The heavenly chorus rejoices
and angels proclaim God’s birth,
and to the shepherds is shown
the shepherd and creator of all.
