Full Lyrics
English|Latin|
Child of the manger,
Infant of Mary,
Outcast and stranger,
Lord of all!
Child who inherits
All our transgressions,
All our demerits
On him fall!
In principio erat verbum,
Et verbum erat apud Deum,
et Deus erat verbum.
Hodie Christus natus est!
Hodie salvator apparuit!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Once the most holy
Child of salvation
Gentle and lowly
Lived below;
Now as our glorious
Mighty redeemer,
See him victorious
O’er each foe.
In principio…
Prophets foretold him,
Infant of wonder;
Angels behold him
On his throne;
Worthy our savior
Of all their praises;
Happy forever
Are his own.
In principio…
