Lyrics:

Puer natus est nobis, et filius datus est nobis:
cuius imperium super humerum eius:
et vocabitur nomen eius, magni consilii Angelus.

Cantate Domino canticum novum:
quia mirabilia fecit.

Puer natus est nobis, et filius datus est nobis:
cuius imperium super humerum eius:
et vocabitur nomen eius, magni consilii Angelus.

Notum fecit Dominus salutare suum:
in conspetu gentium relevavit iustitiam suam.

Puer natus est nobis, et filius datus est nobis.
Cantate Domino canticum novum.

English translation:
A child is born unto us, and a son is given to us;
his scepter of power rests upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called Messenger of great counsel.

Sing a new song to the Lord,
because he has done wonderful things.

The Lord has made known his salvation:
he has revealed his justice in the sight of all nations.

A child is born unto us, and a son is given to us.
Sing a new song to the Lord.
