Christmas Carol Story
This Carol comes from the 13th century Latin hymn, "Resonet In Laudibus". which was popular all over Europe. Translated into English by Rev.John Mason Neale yet still retaining some of the original language..
Christ was born on Christmas Day
Wreathe the holly, twine the hay;
Christus natus hodie;
The Babe, The Son, the Holy One of Mary.
He is born to set us free,
He is born our Lord to be,
Ex Maria Virgine,
The God, the Lord, by all adored forever.
Let the bright red berries glow,
Every where in goodly show,
Christus natus hodie;
The Babe, the Son, the Holy One of Mary.
Christian men, rejoice and sing,
'Tis the birthday of a King
Ex Maria Virgine;
The God, the Lord, by all ador'd forever.
Christus natus hodie = Christ is born today
Ex Maria Virgine = Born of the Virgin Mary.
