Lyrics:

Magi veniunt ab oriente Ierosolimam
quaerentes et dicentes:
Ubi est qui natus est Rex Judaeorum
cujus stellam vídimus?
Vidimus stellam eius in oriente,
et venimus cum muneribus adorare Dominum.

Translation:
The wise men came from the East to Jerusalem
asking questions and saying:
Where is he that is born [King of the Jews],
whose star we have seen?
We have seen that star in the East,
and we have come [with gifts] to worship the Lord.
