Rejoice, rejoice Christ is born
Gaudete, gaudete Christos est natus

From the virgin Mary, rejoice.
Ex Maria virginae, gaudete.

Rejoice, rejoice Christ is born
Gaudete, gaudete Christos est natus

From the virgin Mary, rejoice.
Ex Maria virginae, gaudete.

This is the time of thanksgiving that we wished for.
Tempus ad est gratiae hoc quod optabamus,

We devoutly sing songs of joy.
Carmina laetitiae devote redamus.

Refrain

God became man, being nature,
Deus homo factus est naturam erante,

The world has been renewed by the reigning Christ.
Mundus renovatus est a Christo regnante.

Refrain

Ezekiel's gate was closed by the passerby
Ezecheelis porta clausa per transitor

Whence the light arose, the finder of pebbles.
Unde lux est orta sallus invenitor.

Refrain

Therefore, our congregation sings already in the twilight,
Ergo nostra contio psallat jam in lustro,

Bless the lord of the saddles for our king.
Benedicat domino sallas regi nostro.
