O Magnum Mysterium

I probably shouldn't like this - but I do!
Our ad hoc choir (under expert direction) sang it last year at some of our Christmas liturgies; it made quite an impact...
This year it should have been the Armed Man (or L'Homme Armé, according to taste) - sorry, couldn't resist!



O magnum mysterium,

et admirabile sacramentum,
ut animalia viderent Dominum natum,
iacentem in praesepio!
Beata Virgo, cuius viscera
meruerunt portare
Dominum Christum.
Alleluia.
