Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary: Rejoice!

The time of grace has come, This that we have desired;
Let us devoutly sing Songs of joy.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary: Rejoice!

God is made man, While nature marvels;
The world is renewed By Christ reigning.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary: Rejoice!

The closed gate of Ezekiel Is passed through;
Whence the light is born, Salvation is found.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary: Rejoice!

Therefore, let our assembly Sing in brightness;
Let it give praise to the Lord: Salvation to our King.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary: Rejoice!
