Latin.png Latin text

Ab oriente venerunt magi in Bethlehem
adorare Dominum
et apertis thesauris suis,
pretiosa munera obtulerunt.
aurum sicut regi magno,
thus sicut deo vero,
myrrhae sepulturi eius,
alleluia.

English.png English translation

Out of the east came the wise men,
unto Bethlehem to worship the Lord;
and opening their treasury
they offered precious gifts:
Gold, as for a great king,
Incense, as for a true God,
Myrrh for his sepulchre.
