Tribus miraculis ornatum,
diem sanctum colimus:
Hodie stella Magos duxit ad praesepium:
Hodie vinum ex aqua factum est ad nuptias:
Hodie a Joanne Christus baptizari voluit,
ut salvaret nos,
Alleluia.

Today a star led the Magi to the manger;
Today wine was made from water at the wedding;
Today Christ desired to be baptised by John,
so that He might save us,
Alleluia.
