Original text and translations

Latin text Venite adoremus regem nostrum, cantemus et offeramus ei aurum, thus et myrrham. Alleluia. Quia magi veniunt ab oriente, munera defferunt, et tandem coronantur, et accipiunt palmam. Alleluia.

English translation O come, let us worship our king, let us sing and offer him gold, frankincense and myrrh. Alleluia. For the wise men came from the east and brought gifts, and so they are crowned and receive the palm. Alleluia. (trans. Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
