Latin text
- Refrain: Gaudete! Gaudete!
- Christus est natus ex Maria virgine.
- Gaudete!
Tempus adest gratiae, hoc quod optabamus;
carmina laetitiae devote reddamus.
- Refrain.
Deus homo factus est, natura mirante;
mundus renovatus est a Christo regnante.
- Refrain.
Ezechiellis porta clausa per transitur;
unde lux est orta, salus invenitur.
- Refrain.
Ergo nostra contio psallat iam in lustro;
Benedicat Domino; salus regi nostro.
- Refrain.

At this time of grace and longed-for blessing,
God is made human in this wonderful birth:
The gate of heaven now opens which to us was closed,
Therefore we meet in pure songs of joy;
|
Alternative translation
The time of grace has come for which we have prayed;
God is made man, while nature wonders;
The closed gate of Ezekiel has been passed through;
Therefore, let our assembly sing praises now at this time of purification;
