Lyrics:

Puer natus in Bethlehem, alleluia.
Unde gaudet Jerusalem, alleluia.
In cordis jubilo,
Christum natum adoremus
Cum novo cantico.

Assumsit carne Filius, alleluia,
Dei Patirs latissimus, alleluia.
In cordis jubilo,
Christum natum adoremus
Cum novo cantico.

In carne nobis similis, alleluia.
Peccato sed dissimilis, alleluia.
In cordis jubilo,
Christum natum adoremus
Cum novo cantico.

Hic iacet in praesepio, alleluia.
Qui regnat sine termino, alleluia.
In cordis jubilo,
Christum natum adoremus
Cum novo cantico.

In hoc natali gaudio, alleluia.
Benedicamus Domino, alleluia.
In cordis jubilo,
Christum natum adoremus
Cum novo cantico.

Translation:
A child born in Bethlehem, alleluia.
Whence Jerusalem rejoices, alleluia.
In the shouting of the heart
let us worship Christ born
With a new song.

The Son took the flesh, alleluia
The widest part of God, alleluia.
In the shouting of the heart
let us worship Christ born
With a new song.

He is like us in the flesh, alleluia.
But unlike sin, alleluia.
In the shouting of the heart
let us worship Christ born
With a new song.

He lies in a manger, alleluia.
Who reigneth without bounds, alleluia.
In the shouting of the heart
let us worship Christ born
With a new song.

In the joy of this birthday, alleluia.
Let us bless the Lord, alleluia.
In the shouting of the heart
let us worship Christ born
With a new song.
