[Link:] Personent Hodie.
1. Personent hodie
voces puerulae,
laudantes iucunde
qui nobis est natus,
summo Deo datus,
et de virgineo ventre procreatus.
2. in mundo nascitur,
pannis involvitur
praesepi ponitur
stabulo brutorum,
rector supernorum.
perdidit spolia princeps infernorum.
3. magi tres venerunt,
parvulum inquirunt,
parvulum inquirunt,
stellulam sequendo,
ipsum adorando,
aurum, thus, et myrrham ei offerendo.
4. omnes clericuli,
pariter pueri,
cantent ut angeli:
advenisti mundo,
laudes tibi fundo.
ideo gloria in excelsis Deo.
Merry Christ-Mass, Everybody.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Hugh! 2007 has been a blessed year, looking forward to 2008!
Merry Chrrristmas H.
Merry Christmas Hugh!
Took me back: pleased to say I got most of it 🙂
Compliments of the season and thanks for all the joy – and irony – you spread through the year.
