In a manger so austere, |

Lying in the hay dust, |
| Cognoverunt Dominum |
The Lord could be recognized, |
This small baby, it was clear, |
| Christum, Regem Coelorum. |

Was Christ who came to save us. |

Trembled, turning ashen. |
| In infantes irruit |

Newborn children he waylaid |
| Hos caedens in furore. |
And beat them in anger. |
And killed in raging passion. |

We sing in chorus; |
We will sing in chorus; |
| Cantemus in organo: |
We sing with the organ: |
We will sing with organ chords |
| Benedicamus Domino. |
"Bless the Lord." |
To you who suffered for us. |
