1. Radix Jesse jam flóruit

Et virga fructum édidit;
And the branch has given forth fruit;
Fecúnda partum prótulit
The fertile Mother has borne a Son,
Et virgo mater pérmanet.
Yet remains a Virgin.
2. Præsépe poni pértulit

Qui lucis auctor éxstitit;

Sub matre pannos índuit.

3. Legem dedit qui sǽculo,
3. He who gave the Law to the world,
Cujus decem præcépta sunt,

Dignándo factus est homo
Condescends to be made man,
Sub legis esse vínculo.
To be constrained by the chain of the Law.
4. Iam lux salúsque náscitur,
4. Now light and salvation are born,
Nox díffugit, mors víncitur;
Night flees and death is conquered;
Veníte, gentes, crédite:
Come, you nations, believe:
Deum María prótulit.
Mary has given birth to God.

Qui natus es de Vírgine,
Who were born of the Virgin,
Cum Patre et almo Spíritu,
With the Father and the loving Spirit,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
For ever and ever.
Amen.
Amen.
