O Magnum Mysterium
Text from the Matins for Christmas
Music by Morton Lauridsen (1998)
Performed by the Choir of King's College, Cambridge
O magnum mysterium
Et admirabile sacrementum
Ut animalia viderent Dominum natum
Jacentem in praesepio
Beata Virgo cujus viscera
Meruerunt portare
Dominum Christum
Alleluia
Translation
O great mystery
And wonderful sacrament
That animals should see the newborn Lord
Lying in a manger
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb
Was worthy to bear
Christ the Lord
Allelulia
