Revision as of 19:13, 2 June 2018

Puer natus est nobis is the introit for the Mass of Christmas Day and, in the Extraordinary Form, its Octave. It is drawn from Isaiah 9:6; the verse is from Psalm 98 (97) and the antiphon is repeated after the Gloria Patri.

Morales and Macchi set a shorter (and unidentified) text with 2 verses from Luke and John with alleluias. Senfl sets the standard antiphon, beginning after a plainsong intonation. Schütz sets German versions in Ein Kind ist uns geboren, SWV 302 (Heinrich Schütz) and Ein Kind ist uns geboren, SWV 384 (Heinrich Schütz), and of course Handel set the English text at the midpoint of Messiah, Part One.

None of these shold be confused with the non-liturgical hymn Puer natus in Bethlehem or with Puer nobis nascitur. There is also an antiphon for vespers of The Nativity of John the Baptist, Puer qui natus est (LU p. 1343).

Ein Kind ist uns geboren,
Ein Sohn ist uns gegeben,
welches Herrschaft ist auf seiner Schulter
und er heißt Wunderbar, Rat, Kraft, Held,
Ewigvater, Friedefürst,
aud daß seine Herrschaft groß werde
und des Friedens keine Ende
auf dem Stuhl Davids und seines Königreichs,
daß er's zurichte und stärke
mit Gericht und Gerechtigkeit
von nun an bis in Ewigkeit.
Solches wird tun
der Eifer des Herren Zebaoth.
