A Ceremony of Carols, Op. 28: I. Procession

Hodie Christus natus est

hodie Salvator apparuit

hodie in terra canunt angeli

laetantur archangeli

hodie exsultant justi dicentes

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Today Christ is born

Today the Saviour has appeared

Today the angels sing

The archangels rejoice

Today the righteous rejoice, saying

Glory to God in the highest, Alleluia
