Saltabraz - Gaudete Christus Est Natus

Gaudete! gaudete!

Christus est natus ex Maria virgine

Gaudete!

1. Tempus adest gratiae, hoe quod optabamus;

carmina laetitiae devote reddamus.

2. Deus homo factus est, natura mirante;

mundus renovatus est a Christo regnante.

3. Ezecaelis orta clausa per transistur;

unde lux est orta, salus invenitur.

4. Ergo nostra contio psallat iam in lustro;

Benedicat Domino; salus regi nostro.

Rejoice, rejoice! Christ has born

Out of the Virgin Mary

Rejoice!

1. The time of grace has come — what we have wished for,

songs of joy Let us give back faithfully.

2. God has become man, (with) nature marvelling,

The world has been renewed by Christ (Who is) reigning.

3. The closed gate of Ezekiel is passed through,

Whence the light is raised, salvation is found.

4. Therefore, let our preaching now sing in brightness

Let it give praise to the Lord: greeting to our King.
