All ye who would the Christ descry, Lift up your eyes to Him on high: There mortal gaze hath strength to see The token of His majesty.

Hæc stella, quæ solis rotam vincit decóre ac lúmine, venísse terris núntiat cum carne terréstri Deum.

Fairer than the sun at morning Was the star that told His birth; To the lands their God announcing Hid beneath a form of earth.

Lectio brevis (2 Tim 1, 9-10)

Deus nos salvos fecit et vocávit vocatióne sancta, non secúndum ópera nostra sed secúndum propósitum suum et grátiam, quæ data est nobis in Christo Iesu ante témpora sæculária, manifestáta autem nunc per illustratiónem salvatóris nostri Iesu Christi, qui destrúxit quidem mortem, illuminávit autem vitam et incorruptiónem per evangélium.

Who hath delivered us and called us by his holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the times of the world. But is now made manifest by the illumination of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath destroyed death, and hath brought to light life and incorruption by the gospel.
