Original text and translations

English text

1.

On this day earth shall ring

with the song children sing

to the Lord, Christ our King,

born on earth to save us;

him the Father gave us.

Refrain:

Id-e-o-o-o, id-e-o-o-o,

Id-e-o gloria in excelsis Deo!

2.

His the doom, ours the mirth;

when he came down to earth,

Bethlehem saw his birth;

ox and ass beside him

from the cold would hide him.

Refrain

3.

God's bright star, o'er his head,

Wise Men three to him led;

kneel they low by his bed,

lay their gifts before him,

praise him and adore him.

Refrain

4.

On this day angels sing;

with their song earth shall ring,

praising Christ, heaven's King,

born on earth to save us;

peace and love he gave us.

Refrain
