Traditional German Christmas carol. One line in each verse is in Latin.

Christ was born on Christmas day
Wreathe the holly, twine the bay
Christus natus hodie
The Babe, the Son,
The holy one of Mary

He is born to set us free,
He is born our Lord to be,
Ex Maria Virgine;
The God, the Lord,
By all adored forever.

Let the bright red berries glow,
Everywhere in goodly show,
Christus natus hodie
The Babe, the Son,
The holy one of Mary.

Christian men, rejoice and sing,
'Tis the birthday of a king,
Ex Maria virgine
The God, the Lord,
by all adored forever.
