Excuse the prom suits and garish lighting and enjoy.
Gaudete, gaudete, Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine, gaudete
Gaudete, gaudete, Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine, gaudete
Tempus adest gratiae, hoc quod optabamus
Carmina laetitiae devote redamus
Deus homo factus est natura mirante
Mundus renovatus est a Christo regnante
Ezechielis porta clausa per transitur
Unde lux est orta salus invenitur
Ergo nostra cantio psallat iam in lustro
Benedicat domino salus regi nostro
Rejoice, rejoice, Christ is born of the Virgin Mary!
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice! Etc.
The time of thanksgiving is here, that which we have been hoping for.
Let us utter songs of joy with devotion!
God has been made man to the astonishment of all Creation.
The world has been made new by the reigning Christ.
Ezekiel’s closed gate has been entered.
Salvation is found from where the light has risen.
Therefore, let our chorus sing psalms of purification,
let us bless the Lord. Good health to our King!
