O Magnum Mysterium
Text from the Matins for Christmas
Music by Morten Lauridsen (1993)
Performed by the Westminster Cathedral Choir
(Translation below the video)
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 should see the new-born Lord,
lying in a manger!
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb
was worthy to bear
Christ the Lord.
Alleluia!
