- Personent hodie voces puerulae, laudantes jucunde
- Qui nobis est natus, summo Deo datus,
- Et de virgineo ventre procreatus.
2.
- In mundo nascitur, pannis involvitur praesepi ponitur
- Stabulo brutorum, rector supernorum.
- Perdidit spolia princeps infernorum.

- Magi tres venerunt, parvulum inquirunt, parvulum inquirunt,
- Stellulam sequendo, ipsum adorando,
- Aurum, thus, et myrrham ei offerendo.

- Omnes clericuli, pariter pueri, cantent ut angeli:
- Advenisti mundo, laudes tibi fundo.
- Ideo gloria in excelsis Deo.
