O Magnum Mysterium, Thomas Luis de Victoria (1548-1611)
O magnum mysterium et admirabile sacramentum ut animalia viderent Dominum natum jacentem in praesepio.
Beata virgo cujus viscera meruent partare Dominum Christum. Alleluia.
O great mystery and admirable sacrament that animals see the Lord born lying in a manger.
Blessed virgin whose womb was worthy to bear Lord Christ. Alleluia.
May the beauty, simplicity and mystery of Christ's birth be with you tonight.
