In Natali Domini
clamant mortalex singuli:
Wo ist uns ein Kind geborn?
Zu Bethlehem ist uns geborn ein Kindelein.
Wo, wo, wo ist uns ein Kind geborn?
Zu Bethlehem, zu Bethlehem ist uns geborn ein Kindelein
gewinden in ein Tuechelein.
Jesus ist der Name sein.
English translation
At the birth of the Lord
cried out all mortal together:
Where is the child born for us?
In Bethlehem is the little child born for us,
wrapped in a blanket,
Jesus is his name.
