"Puer Natus In Bethlehem" is a devotional Christmas hymn with text from the 13th century set to a melody from the 14th century. I tired to add the lyrics on the screen but the video kept having rendering issues for some reason, so I had to remove them. Lyric translation below. English translation: A child is born in Bethlehem, Alleluia. Wherefore Jerusalem rejoices. Alleluia, alleluia. The Son assumed flesh, alleluia. Of God the Father Most High, alleluia. By a message from Gabriel, alleluia. A virgin has conceived a son, alleluia. As a bridegroom from the chamber, alleluia. He passed through His mother's womb, alleluia.
