Text of O Magnum Mysterium

 

 

O magnum mysterium et admirabile sacramentum

     ut animalia viderent Dominum natum

     jacentem in praesepio.

Beata virgo cujus viscera

     meruerunt portare Dominum Christum.

     Alleluia.

 


 

O great mystery and wonderful sacrament

     that animals see the infant Lord

     lying in a manger.

Blessed is the virgin whose womb

     was worthy to bear the Lord Christ.

     Alleluia.
