Verbum caro factum est de virgine Maria.
In hoc anni circulo vita datur saeculo: nato nobis parvulo de virgine Maria.
Verbum caro factum est de virgine Maria.
O pastores currite gregem vestrum sinite Deum vestrum colite cum Virgine Maria.
Verbum caro factum est de virgine Maria. O Giesù dulcissime vita cibus animae nobis dona requiem cum Virgine Maria.
Verbum caro factum est de virgine Maria. Illi laus et gloria, Deus et victoria qui manet in saecula cum Virgine Maria.
The Word was made flesh of the Virgin Mary. In this year's circle life is given to the world, to us a little child of the Virgin Mary.
The Word was made flesh of the Virgin Mary. O shepherds, let your flock run! Worship your God with the Virgin Mary.
The Word was made flesh of the Virgin Mary. O Jesus, sweetest life, the food of the soul, grant us rest with the Virgin Mary.
The Word was made flesh of the Virgin Mary. To him praise and glory, God and victory who abides forever with the Virgin Mary.
