Text and translations

Latin text 1. Resonet in laudibus cum jucundis plausibus Sion cum fidelibus: apparuit quem genuit Maria. 2. Christus natus hodie ex Maria Virgine sine viri semine: apparuit … 3. Pueri concinite, nato regi[Jesu] psallite, voce pia dicite: apparuit … 4. Sion lauda Dominum, salvatorem hominum, purgatorem[lavatorum] criminum: apparuit… Sunt impleta quae praedixit Gabriel. Eya, eya, Virgo Deum genuit quod divina voluit clementia. Hodie apparuit in Israel: Ex Maria Virgine est natus Rex. Magnum nomen Domini Emmanuel quod annuntiatum est per Gabriel.

English translation 1. Let praises resound with joyous acclaim: To Sion’s faithful the child born of Mary has appeared. 2. Christ, born today of the Virgin Mary without the seed of man: the child born… 3. Let us sing together to the Child, Let us sing to the newborn king [Jesus], And with pious tones, say: the child born… 4. O Sion, praise the Lord, The Saviour of mankind, He who cleanses sin: The child born… What Gabriel foretold has been fulfilled. Eia, A Virgin bore God, As the divine mercy willed. Today He has appeared in Israel: From the Virgin Mary is born a King. Great is the name of the Lord Immanuel, As was announced by Gabriel. Translation by James Gibb

German translation Erklinge in Lobgesängen mit freudigen Klängen, Sion mit den Gläubigen; erschienen ist, den Maria gebar. Erfüllt ist, was verkündet Gabriel. Eia! Eia! Die Jungfrau gebar Gott, wie es die göttliche Güte wollte. Heute erschien uns der König in Israel, aus der Jungfrau Maria ist uns der König geboren. Groß ist der Name des Herrn: Immanuel, der durch Gabriel verkündet wurde.
