O Regem caeli, cui talia famulantur obsequia!
Stabulo proponitur qui continet mundum:
Iacet in praesepio, et in caelis regnat. Alleluia.
Natus est nobis hodie Salvator,
qui est Christus Dominus, in civitate David:
Iacet in prasepio, et in caelis regnat. Alleluia
O King of heaven, served with such obedience!
He is laid in the stable who holds the world:
He lies in the manger and reigns in heaven. Alleluia.
Today is born a saviour.
who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David:
He lies in the manger and reigns in heaven. Alleluia.
