antiphon for Lauds on Christmas morn, framing Psalm 100, in the Magdeburg Cathedral Book:Genuit puerpera regem,
cui nomen aeternum
et gaudiu- matris habens
cum virginitatis pudore,
nec prima- similem visa est,
nec habere sequentem, Alleluia.
A young Maid has brought forth the King Whose name is Eternal:
to the honour of virginity she unites the joys of motherhood;
before her, the like was never seen, nor shall it ever be so again, Alleluia.
