Quem pastores laudavere
Language: Latin
Quem pastores laudavere Quibus angeli dixere, Absit vobis iam timere, Natus est rex gloriae. Ad quem magi ambulabant Aurum, thus, myrrhum portabant, Immolabant haec sincere Nato regi gloriae. Exultemus cum Maria In coelesti heirarchia Natum promat voce pia Laus honor et gloria. Christo regi, Deo nato, Per Mariam nobis dato, Merito resonet vere Laus, honor et gloria.
J. Rutter sets stanzas 1-2, 4
