Shepherds hear the Angels from afar
Heaven send down you gentle evening showers
His coming brings a bright and morning star
Offspring of MARY flower of the perfect flower!
The bright Sun which no cloud devours
Has travelled from the East into the West
God's Son has come to Earth from Heaven's Towers
PRO NOBIS PUER SANCTUS NATUS EST!

Archangels - Angels - Thrones and Dominations
Potentates and Rulers - Martyrs - Seers
And all of Heaven's mystic operations
Stars - Planets - Asteroids and Spheres
Fire - Earth and Air and Water disappears
To give to Him most loving and most blest
Who comes to cast out sin and calm our fears
PRO NOBIS PUER SANCTUS NATUS EST!

Sinners reform and all your penance do
And thank your Maker for His boundless Grace
His Holy Place you cannot enter into
You cannot stand within His Holy Place
You cannot look upon His Holy Face
He'll send His Son to save you from the test
IMMANUEL means God has come to you!
PRO NOBIS PUER SANCTUS NATUS EST!

The last line is translated as:
For us the Holy Child is born!
