Recorded: 1990 Performed by: The King's Consort

O magnum mysterium et admirabile sacramentum,
Ut animalia viderent Dominum natum, iacentem in praesepio!
Beata Virgo, cujus viscera meruerunt portare Dominum Christum.

Alleluia!


English Translation:
O great mysteryand wonderful sacrament
That animals should see the new-born Lord, lysing in a manger!
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb was worthy to bear Christ the Lord.

Praise ye the Lord!
