Capitulum Hymnus Versus
Titus 2:11-12
Appáruit grátia Dei Salvatóris nostri ómnibus homínibus, erúdiens nos, ut abnegántes impietátem, et sæculária desidéria, sóbrie, et juste, et pie vivámus in hoc sǽculo.
℟ Deo grátias.
Hymnus
A solis ortus cárdine
Ad usque terræ límitem,
Christum canámus Príncipem,
Natum María Vírgine.
Beátus auctor sǽculi
Servíle corpus índuit:
Ut carne carnem líberans,
Ne pérderet quos cóndidit.
Castæ Paréntis víscera
Cæléstis intrat grátia:
Venter Puéllæ bájulat
Secréta, quæ non nóverat.
Domus pudíci péctoris
Templum repénte fit Dei:
Intácta nésciens virum,
Concépit alvo Fílium.
Enítitur puérpera,
Quem Gábriel prædíxerat,
Quem ventre Matris géstiens,
Baptísta clausum sénserat.
Fœno jacére pértulit:
Præsépe non abhórruit:
Et lacte módico pastus est,
Per quem nec ales ésurit.
Gaudet chorus cæléstium,
Et Angeli canunt Deo;
Palámque fit pastóribus
Pastor, Creátor ómnium.
Jesu, tibi sit glória,
Qui natus es de Vírgine,
Cum Patre, et almo Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

℟ Thanks be to God.
Hymn
From lands that see the sun arise
To earth's remotest boundaries,
The Virgin-born today we sing,
The Son of Mary, Christ the King.
Blest Author of this earthly frame,
To take a servant's form He came,
That, liberating flesh by flesh,
Whom He had made might live afresh.
In that chaste parent's holy womb
Celestial grace hath found its home;
The maiden bears within her womb
The mysteries she had not known.
The mansion of the modest breast
Becomes a shrine where God shall rest:
The pure and undefilèd one
Conceived in her womb the Son.
That Son, that Royal Son she bore,
Whom Gabriel's voice had told afore;
Whom, in His mother yet concealed,
The leaping Baptist had perceived.
The manger and the straw He bore,
The cradle did He not abhor;
By milk in infant portions fed,
Who gives e'en fowls their daily bread.
The heavenly chorus filled the sky,
The Angels sang to God on high,
What time to shepherds, watching lone,
They made creation's Shepherd known.
Jesus, to you be glory,
Who were born of the Virgin,
With the Father and the loving Spirit,
For ever and ever.
Amen.
℣ The Word was made flesh, alleluia.
℟ And dwelt among us, alleluia.
