Gaudete
Poem (Canso):
Gaudete, Gaudete!
Ecce Homo qui
truimphavit hodie
Gaudete!
Tempus ad est gratiae,
Hoc quod optabamus;
Carmina laetitiae,
Devote redamus.
Gaudete, etc.
Ergo nostra cantio,
Psallat iam in lustro;
Benedicat Domino:
Salus Princeps nostro.
Gaudete, etc.
Translation:
Rejoice, Rejoice!
Behold he who
was victorious today
Rejoice!
It is now the time of grace
That we have desired;
Let us sing songs of joy,
Let us give devotion.
Therefore let our assembly now sing,
Sing the Psalms to purify us;
Let it praise the Lord:
Greetings to our prince.
