O magnum mysterium et admirabile sacramentum,
ut animalia viderent Dominum natum iacentem in praesepio.
Beata Virgo, cuius viscera meruerunt portare Dominum Jesum Christum.
Domine, audivi auditum tuum et timui:
consideravi opera tua, et expavi:
in medio duorum animalium.
O great mystery and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the new-born Lord lying in a manger.
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb
was worthy to bear Jesus Christ the Lord.
Lord, I heard your voice and was afraid;
I considered your works and I trembled:
in between two animals.

Alma redemptoris Mater

Alma redemptoris Mater, quae pervia caeli
Porta manes, et stella maris, succurre cadenti,
Surgere qui curat, populo: tu quae genuisti,
Natura mirante, tuum sanctum Genitorem
Virgo prius ac posterius, Gabrielis ab ore
Sumens illud Ave, peccatorum miserere.
Loving mother of the Redeemer,
gate of heaven, star of the sea,
assist your people who have fallen yet strive to rise again.
To the wonderment of nature you bore your Creator,
yet remained a virgin after as before.
You who received Gabriel’s joyful greeting,
have pity on us poor sinners.

Beata viscera Mariae Virginis,
quae portaverunt aeterni Patris Filium;
et beata ubera, quæ lactaverunt Christum Dominum:
qui hodie pro salute mundi de Virgine nasci dignatus est.
Blessed is the womb of the Virgin Mary,
that bore the son of the everlasting Father:
and blessed are the breasts, which gave suck to Christ the Lord:
Who as on this day did deign to be born of the Virgin for the salvation of the world.
Responsory, Christmas Day
