Melody 1:
Gaudete, gaudete,
Christus est natus,
Ex Maria Virgine,
Gaudete.
Tempus ad est gratie,
Hoc quod optabamus:
Carmina laetitiae,
Devote redamus.
Deus homo factus est,
Natura mirante;
Mundus renovatus est,
A Christo regnante.
Ezechielis porta,
Clausa per transitur;
Unde lux est orta,
Salus invenitur.
Melody 2:
Puer natus in Bethlehem
Unde gaudet Jerusalem.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
Per Gabrielis nuntium,
Virgo concepit Filium.
Translation:
Melody 1:
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Christ is born
of the Virgin Mary,
Rejoice!
At this time of grace
and longed-for blessing,
Love faithfully offers
a song of praise.
God is made human
in this wonderful birth:
The world is made new
through the reign of Christ.
The gate of heaven
now opens which to us was closed,
Sending forth transforming light
through which holiness is found.
Melody 2:
A boy is born in Bethlehem, alleluia,
Whence Jerusalem rejoices, alleluia.
As Gabriel announced, alleluia,
A virgin conceived a Son, alleluia.
