Dies sanctificatus illuxit nobis,
venite gentes, et adorate Dominum.
Quia hodie descendit lux magna,
magna lux descendit super terram,
dies illuxit nobis, illuxit sanctificatus
dies illuxit nobis, venite, venite,
gentes venite et adorate Dominum.
Halleluja.

A holy day has shone upon us,
gather ye people, and worship the Lord.
For today a great light has descended
to the earth and enlightened us.
Alleluia.
