Today the Virgin comes to the cave 
To give birth to the Word eternal: 
Rejoice, O World
With the Angels and the Shepherds 
Give glory to the Child!
Alleluia!

Mary my wife, O Mary my wife!
What do I see?
I took you blameless before the Lord 
From the priests of the Temple 
What do I see?

Rejoice, O World
With the Angels and the Shepherds 
Give glory to the Child!
Alleluia!

Joseph the Bridegroom, 
O Joseph the Bridegroom!
Do not fear.
God in his mercy has come down to earth, 
He takes flesh in my womb
For all the world to see.

Mary, my Bride, O Mary my Bride, 
What do I see?
You, a virgin giving birth. 
Strange mystery!

Warned by the Angel we believe 
That Mary gives birth inexplicable 
To the infant, Christ, our God.
