O magnum mysterium Et admirabile sacramentum, Ut animalia viderent Dominum Natum iaceentem in praesepio. Beata Virga, cuius viscera Meruerunt portare Dominum Iesum Christum. |
O great mystery And wondrous sacrament, That animals should see the new-born Lord Lying in their manger. Blessed in the Virgin whose womb Was worthy to bear the Lord Jesus Christ. |
