Lyrics:

Transeamus usque Bethlehem 
Et videamus hoc verbum quod factum est.
Mariam et Joseph et Infantem 
Positum in praesepio.

Gloria in excelsis Deo, 
Et in terra pax hominibus 
Bonae voluntatis.

Transeamus videamus multitudinem,
Militiae celestis laudantium Deum,
Mariam et Joseph et Infantem
Posium in praesepio.

Translation:
Let us go to Bethlehem,
And see the word which is made flesh.
Mary and Joseph and the Infant
Lying in the manger.

Glory to God in the highest
And on earth peace to those 
Of goodwill.

Let us go to see this multitude,
The heavenly army praising God.
Mary and Joseph and the Infant
Lying in a manger.
