Quem vidistis, pastores? Dicite, annuntiate nobis, in terris quis apparuit?
Natum vidimus, et choros Angelorum collaudantes Dominum.
Whom did you see, shepherds? Speak, tell us who has appeared on earth?
We saw the birth and an angelic choir praising the Lord.
O Sapientia, quæ ex ore Altissimi prodisti, venin ad docendum nos viam prudentiæ.
O Wisdom, who was brought forth from the mouth of the Most High, come and teach us the way of prudence.
Videntes stellam, magi, gavisi sunt gaudio magno: et intrantes domum, obtulerunt Dominum aurum, thus et myrrham.
Seeing the star, the Magi rejoiced with great gladness: and entering the house they offered the Lord gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Verbum caro factum est, Alleluia! Et habitavit in nobis, Alleluia!
The Word was made flesh, alleluia, and dwelt among us, alleluia!
