Nascente Maria
Dedication:
Original Language: Latin
Nascente Maria himnum cantate
nobis de canticis Angelorum.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gaudeat omnis terra
Mariæ Virginis illustrata natali.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Concinite lætantes chori
et alternantibus modulis
Mariam nascentem excipite.
Laudate, benedicite, adorate Mariam.
Nascitur Maria ut sit salutis exordium.
Nascitur Maria ut mundo succurat perdito.
Nascitur Maria ut sit peccatorum venia.
Nascitur Maria ut sit reconciliationis remedium.
Laudate, benedicite, adorate Mariam.
Nascente Maria Ecclesiæ Aurora consurgit,
solem iustitiæ mundum cum lætitia Paritura.
O femmina super femminas benedicta,
o mater, o Virgo, o Deus,
o firmamentum, o gloria.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

to us from the songs of the angels.
Glory to God in the highest.
Let all the world rejoice,

Glory to God in the highest.
Join in, happy choirs,
and with varying modes
welcome Mary's birth.
Praise, bless, worship Mary.
Mary is born that she be the beginning of salvation.
Mary is born that she help the world fromperdition.
Mary is born that she be the pardon for sinners.
Mary is born that she be the means for reconciliation.

As Mary is born, the dawn of the Church arises:
she will give birth with joyfulness to the Sun of Justice.
O woman blessed above all Women,
O Mother, O virgin, O God,
O heaven, O glory.
Glory to God in the highest.
