1. Parvulus nobis nascitur,
De virgine progreditur
Ob quem laetantur angeli,
Gratulemur nos servuli,
Trinitati *gloria
In sempiterna saecula.

1. To us a little Child is born
Of mother maid before the morn,
For Him today are angels gay,
Shall we poor servants have no lay?
Glory to the Trinity
throughout all the ages yet to be.

2. Regem habemus gratiae
Leonemque victoriae,
Unicum Dei filium
Lustrantem omne saeculum.
Trinitati gloria &c.

2. Now we have grace's living spring
Now the victorious lion-King
God's own and sole begotten Son
Restores a world by sin undone
Glory to the Trinity
throughout all the ages yet to be.

3. Ut redderet Deo caros
Nos et a morte liberos,
Sanaret saeva vulnera
Dradonis fact' astutia.
Trinitati gloria &c.

3. That He might make us dear to God,
And free from death's all-smiting rod,
And heal the gaping wounds of guile
Hell's cunning serpent dealt erstwhile
Glory to the Trinity
throughout all the ages yet to be.

4. Huic omnes infantulo
Concinite mellifluo,
Jacenti in presepio
Vili prostrato lectulo.
Trinitati gloria &c.

4. So to the suckling one and all
Warble and play a sweet chorale,
While He lies here I cattle stall,
So may rude bed give rest withal,
Glory to the Trinity
throughout all the ages yet to be.
