Gaudette

Gaudete! gaudete! Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine: Gaudete!

Tempus adest gratiae, Hoc quod optabamus;
Carmina laeticiae Devote redamus.

Gaudete! gaudete! Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine: Gaudete!

Deus homo factus est, Natura mirante;
Mundus renovatus est, A Christo regnante.

Gaudete! gaudete! Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine: Gaudete!

Ezechiellis porta Clausa pertransitur;
Unde lux est orta, Salus invenitur.

Gaudete! gaudete! Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine: Gaudete!

Ergo nostra concito Psallat iam in lustro;
Benedicat Domino: Salus Regi nostro.

Gaudete! gaudete! Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine: Gaudete!

English

Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary: rejoice!

The time of grace has come, This that we have desired;
Verses of joy, Let us devoutly return.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary: rejoice!

God has become man, Nature marveling;
The world has been renewed, By the reigning Christ.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary: rejoice!

The closed gate of Ezechiel is passed through;
Whence the light is born, Salvation is found.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary: rejoice!

Therefore let our gathering, Now sing in brightness
Let it give praise to the Lord: Greeting to our King.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary: rejoice!
