Gaudete!

Tempus adest gratiae
Hoc quod optibamus,
Carmina laetitiae
Devote redamus.

Gaudete...

Deus homo factus est
Natura mirante,
Mundus renovatus est
A Christo regnante.

Gaudete...

Ezechielis porta
Clausa pertransitur,
Unde lux est orta
Salus invenitur.

Gaudete...

Ergo nostra cantio,
Psallat iam in lustro;
Benedicat Domino:
Salus Regi nostro.

It is now the time of grace
That we have desired;
Let us devoutly return
Songs of rejoicing.

Rejoice...

God has become man,
And nature marvels;
The world has been renewed
By Christ who is King.

Rejoice...

The closed gate of Ezechiel
Has been passed through;
Hence the light rises
Salvation is found.

Rejoice...

Therefore let our assembly
Now sing a hymn of purification
Let it give praise to the Lord:
greetings to our King.
