Piae Cantiones 1582 Arr. Watts

Personent hodie voces puerulae
Laudantes jucunde qui nobis est natus
Summo deo datus
Et de virgineo

In mundo nascitur pannis in volvitur
Praesepi ponitur stabulo brutorum
Rector supernorum
Perdidit spolia princeps infernorum

Magi tres venerunt parvulum inquirunt
Parvulum inquirunt stellulam sequendo
Ipsum adoranto
Aurum thus et myrrham ei offerendo

Omnes clericuli pariter pueri
Cantent ut angeli adventisti mundo
Laudes tibi fundo
Ideo gloria in excelsis deo

Free translation, Andy Watts:

On this day youthful voices sing aloud,
Joyfully praising Him who was born for us,
Given by God,
Born of a virgin.

Born into the world, wrapped in swaddling clothes
Laid in a manger in an animal's stable,
The Ruler of all,
The Prince of Hell is robbed of his spoils!

Three Magi came and offered their gifts.
They sought the child, following a star,
Offering gold, incense and myrrh
In adoration.

All clerks and choristers
Sing with the angles: "You have come into the world;
All praise to You;
Glory to God in the Highest!"
