O Jesu mi dulcissime (Giovanni Gabrieli) Il Pomo d'Oro

"O Jesu mi dulcissime" by Giovanni Gabrieli (1557–1612)

Il Pomo d'Oro
Giuseppe Maletto, conductor

O Jesu mi dulcissime,
adoro te in stabulo commorantem.
O puer dilectissime,
adoro te in praesepio iacentem.
O Christe, rex piissime,
adoramus te in faeno cubantem,
in coelo fulgentem.
O mira Dei pietas,
o singularis caritas
Christus datus est a Patre,
Jesus natus est de virgine matre.
O divina ergo proles,
Te colimus hic homines
ut veneremur coelites.

TRANSLATION (by Hugh Ward-Perkins):
O Jesus, my sweetest,
I worship you, living in the stable.
O most beloved child,
I worship you, lying in the manger.
O Christ, holiest of kings,
we worship you, sleeping in the hay,
shining in the heavens.
O marvelous holiness of God,
most unique kindness,
the Christ is given, Jesus is born,
given by the father, born of a virgin mother.
O progeny thus divine,
we venerate you here as mortals,
that we may revere you as immortals.
