Gaudete, gaudete Christos est natusEx Maria virginae, gaudete.Tempus ad est gratiae hoc quod optabamus,Carmina laetitiae devote redamus.Gaudete, gaudete Christos est natusEx Maria virginae, gaudete.Deus homo factus est naturam erante,Mundus renovatus est a Christo regnante.Gaudete, gaudete Christos est natusEx Maria virginae, gaudete.Ezechielis porta clausa per transitorUnde lux est orta sallus invenitor.Gaudete, gaudete Christos est natusEx Maria virginae, gaudete.Ergo nostra contio psallat jam in lustro,Benedicat domino sallas regi nostro.Gaudete, gaudete Christos est natusEx Maria virginae, gaudete.
