Latin text
Videntes stellam magi gavisi sunt gaudio magno,
et intrantes domum obtulerunt Domino aurum, thus et myrrham.
Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc et semper et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
English translation
When they saw the star the wise men were greatly delighted,
and they entered the house and offered to the Lord gold, francincense, and myrrh.
