Gaudete (Arr. for Choir by Pembroke College Girls’ Choir)

Gaudete! Gaudete! Christus est natus

Ex Maria Virgine, Gaudete

Tempus adest gratiae

Hoc quod optabamus

Carmina laetitiae

Devote reddamus

Deus homo factus est

Natura mirante

Mundus renovatus est

A Christo regnante

Ezechielis porta

Clausa pertransitur

Unde lux est orta

Salus invenitur

Ergo nostra contio

Psallat iam in lustro

Benedicat Domino

Salus Regi nostro

Rejoice, rejoice! Christ is born

Of the Virgin Mary, rejoice!

The time of grace is here

That we have desired

Let us devoutly offer

Songs of rejoicing

God is made man

Nature marvels

The world is renewed

By Christ who is King

Ezekiel's closed gate

Has been passed through

There salvation is found

Where the light shines

Therefore let our song

Now sound to purify us

May the Lord be blessed

Salvation to our King
