English text
- See, the Word is incarnate; God is made man in the womb of a Virgin.
- Shepherds rejoice, wise men adore and angels sing
- 'Glory be to God on high: peace on earth, good will towards men.
- The law is cancelled,
- Jews and Gentiles converted by the preaching of glad tidings of salvation.
- The blind have sight and cripples have their motion;
- diseases cured, the dead are raised, and miracles are wrought.
- Let us welcome such a guest with Hosanna.
- The Paschal Lamb is offered, Christ Jesus made a sacrifice for sin.
- The earth quakes, the sun is darkened, the powers of hell are shaken;
- and lo, he is risen up in victory.
- Sing Alleluia.
- See, O see the fresh wounds, the gored blood,
- the prick of thorns, the print of nails.
- And in the sight of multitudes a glorious ascension.
- When now he sits on God's right hand
- where all the choir of heaven all jointly sing:
- Glory be to the Lamb that sitteth on the throne.
- Let us continue our wonted note with Hosanna:
- Blessed be He that cometh in the Name of the Lord;
- with Alleluia, we triumph in victory,
- the serpent's head is bruised, Christ's kingdom exalted,
- and heaven laid open to sinners.
- Amen.
