Ecce novum gaudium

Language: Latin

Our translations: GER

Ecce novum gaudium,
Ecce novum mirum,
Virgo parit filium,
Qvae non novit virum,
Qvae non novit virum,
Sed ut pyrus pyrum,
Gleba fert papyrum
Florens lilium.
  Ecce qvod natura
  Mutat sua jura,
  Virgo parit pura,
  Dei filium.

Mundum Deus flebilem
Cernens in ruina,
Rosam delectabilem
Produxit de spina,
Produxit de spina,
Natum de regina,
Qui et medicina,
Salus gentium.
  Ecce qvod natura
  Mutat sua jura,
  Virgo parit pura,
  Dei filium.

Nequivit divinitas
Plus humiliari,
Nec nostra carnalitas
Magis exaltari,
Magis exaltari,
Deo coaequari,
Coelo collocari,
Per conjugium.
  Ecce qvod natura
  Mutat sua jura,
  Virgo parit pura,
  Dei filium.

Schaut, welch Wunder wird uns wahr

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Latin

Schaut, welch Wunder wird uns wahr,
Freude uns beschieden!
Jungfrau einen Sohn gebar ,
Jungfrau sie geblieben, 
Jungfrau sie geblieben,
wie die Frucht am Baume,
wie der Erde Stauden,
Lilie erblüht.
  Seht, was Natur bindet, 
  sie hier überwindet:
  Jungfrau, die erkoren,
  Gottes Sohn geborn.

Gott erbarmt sich einer Welt,
die in Leid und Tränen;
aus dem Dornstrauch sprosst hervor
Rose, die erwählte, 
Rose, die erwählte, 
königlich geboren,
uns zum Heil erkoren,
Retter aller Welt. 
  Seht, was Natur bindet, 
  sie hier überwindet:
  Jungfrau, die erkoren,
  Gottes Sohn geborn.

Mehr vermocht die Gottheit nicht 
selbst sich zu erniedr’gen,
noch konnt unser sündhaft Fleisch
mehr erhöhet werden,
mehr erhöhet werden,
um bei Gott zu stehen,
ewiglich zu sehen
Himmels Bräutigam.
  Seht, was Natur bindet, 
  sie hier überwindet:
  Jungfrau, die erkoren,
  Gottes Sohn geborn.
