Hodie Christus natus est

You can read about the medieval carol, Hodie Christus natus est, at the Hymns and Carols of Christmas website, which also provides an English translation.

Hodie Christus natus est

Hodie Christus natus est, alleluia
Hodie Salvator apparuit, alleluia.
Hodie in terra canunt angeli,
Laetantur archangeli, alleluia
Hodie exultant justi, dicentes
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis, alleluia.

(painting by Duccio di Buoninsegna)
