:From the rising of the sun<br>
:to the ends of the earth,<br>
:let us sing of Christ the Prince,<br>
:born of the Virgin Mary.<br>
:The blessed creator of the world<br>
:put on a servant’s body,<br>
:so that, liberating the flesh through taking flesh,<br>
:he would not lose what he had made.<br>
:The virgin mother's belly<br>
:is filled with heavenly grace;<br>
:the girl’s womb carries<br>
:secrets which she has not known.<br>
:The modest dwelling of her body<br>
:becomes God’s new temple;<br>
:untouched, not knowing a man,<br>
:at a word she conceived the Son in her womb.<br>
:By her birth pangs she brought forth<br>
:the one whom Gabriel had foretold,<br>
:and whom the Baptist, leaping within the womb,<br>
:had recognised as Lord.<br>
:He consented to lie in the hay;<br>
:he did not shrink from the manger;<br>
:and with little milk he was fed,<br>
:who does not allow even the birds to hunger.<br>
:The heavenly chorus rejoices,<br>
:and the angels sing God's praise,<br>
:and to the shepherds is now made known<br>
:the Shepherd who is the creator of all.<br>
:Jesus, to you be glory,<br>
:who are born of a virgin,<br>
:with the Father and the loving Spirit,<br>
:for eternal ages. Amen.<br>
