Latin text

O magnum mysterium
et admirabile sacramentum,
ut animalia viderent Dominum natum
jacentem in praesepio.
O beata Virgo, cujus viscera meruerunt
portare Dominum Jesum Christum.
Ave Maria, gratia plena: Dominus tecum.
O beata Virgo, cujus viscera meruerunt
portare Dominum Jesum Christum.
Alleluia!

O great mystery
and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the new-born Lord
lying in a manger!
O blessed is the Virgin, whose womb
was worthy to bear Christ the Lord.
Hail Mary, full of grace: the Lord is with you.
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb
was worthy to bear Christ the Lord.
Alleluia!

O magnum mysterium
et admirabile sacramentum,
ut animalia viderent Dominum natum
jacentem in praesepio.
Beata Virgo, cujus viscera meruerunt
portare Dominum Jesum Christum.
Domine, audivi auditum tuum et timui:
consideravi opera tua, et expavi:
in medio duorum animalium.

O great mystery
and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the new-born Lord
lying in a manger.
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb
was worthy to bear Jesus Christ the Lord.
Lord, I heard your voice and was afraid;
I considered your works and I trembled:
between two animals.

Translation by Allen H. Simon
O most awesome mystery
and sacrament divine and most wondrous:
that animals should look and see the Lord a babe newborn
beside them in a manger laid.
O how truly blessed is the Virgin whose womb was worthy
to bear and bring forth the Lord Christ Jesus.
Alleluia!

Ô grand mystère et merveilleux sacrement
Que les animaux voient le Seigneur nouveau-né
reposant dans la crèche.
Ô heureuse Vierge dont les entrailles méritèrent
de porter le Seigneur, Jésus Christ.
Alléluia.

Translation by Daniele Ventre
O grande mistero,
E mirabile sacramento,
Che gli animali vedessero il Signore
appena nato giacere nel presepio,
O beata Vergine, il cui grembo meritò
di portare Gesù cristo nostro Signore,
Alleluia!

Translation by Manuel Espejo (Colombia)
O gran misterio,
y maravilloso sacramento,
Que los animales hayan visto
Al Señor recién nacido
yacer en un pesebre.
Alabada seas, o Virgen,
pues tu vientre mereció llevar
a Jesús Cristo, nuestro Señor,
¡Aleluya!

아아 크나큰 신비와
경이로운 성사여
구유에 누워계신 신생의 주를
뭇 짐승이 바라볼지니
아아 복된 처녀여
그 품은 주 예수 그리스도를
수태하기에 합당하였도다
할렐루야

O großes Geheimnis
und wunderbares Heiligtum,
daß Tiere den geborenen Herrn sehen,
in der Krippe liegend.
Selig die Jungfrau,
deren Leib würdig war,
Christus den Herrn zu tragen.
