Gaudete! Rejoice, Rejoice!
Christ is born
Of the virgin Mary,
Rejoice!
It is now the time of grace
That we have desired;
Let us sing songs of joy,
Let us give devotion.
God was made man,
And nature marvels;
The world was renewed
By Christ who is King.
The closed gate of Ezechiel
Has been passed through;
From where the light rises
Salvation is found.
Therefore let our assembly now sing,
Sing the Psalms to purify us;
Let it praise the Lord:
Greetings to our King.
