<V.> Puer natus in Betleem
unde gaudet iherusalem
asumpsit carnem filii
dei patris altissimi.
<V.> Tamquam sponsus de thalamo
procesit matris utero
inponitur presepio
qui regnat sine termino.
R° Cognovit bos et azinus
quod puer erat dominus.

<V.> Reges de saba veniunt
aurum thus miram offerunt
intrantes domum invicem
salutant novum principem.
R° uni trino sempiterno
benedicamus domino.
