Puer Nobis Nascitur

You can read about the 15th-century Latin hymn, Puer Nobis Nascitur, at the Hymns and Carols of Christmas website, which also has a MIDI file of the melody, along with various English translations, including one by G.R. Woodward.

Puer Nobis Nascitur

Puer nobis nascitur, Rector angelorum,
In hoc mundo pascitur Dominus dominorum.

In praesepe ponitur sub faeno asinorum,
Cognoverunt dominum Christum regem caelorum.

Hinc Herodes timuit magno cum dolore
Et pueros occidit infantes cum livore.

Qui natus est ex Maria die hodierna,
Ducat nos cum gratia ad gaudia superna.

O et A et A et O cum cantibus in choro
Cum canticis et organo benedicamus domino.

(Nativity Scene in Austria)
