  • Hodie Christus natus est;
    hodie Salvator apparuit;
    hodie in terra canunt Angeli,
    laetantur Archangeli;
    hodie exsultant justi, dicentes:
    Gloria in excelsis Deo, alleluia.

    Today Christ is born,
    today the Savior has appeared,
    today the Angels sing on earth,
    the Archangels rejoice:
    today the righteous rejoice, saying:
    “Glory to God in the highest. Alleluia!”
