Ad usque terrae limitem

From the point where the sun rises
up to the end of the earth,
let us sing of Christ, the Prince,
born from the Virgin Mary.

Vanwaar de zon opgaat
tot aan het einde van de aarde
laten wij zingen voor Christus onze vorst
die geboren is uit de maagd Maria

Christum wir sollen loben schon,
Der reinen Magd Marien Sohn,
Soweit die liebe Sonne leucht't
Und an aller Welt Ende reicht.
