why Jesus was born.
For us
This is the hymn I read:
Jesu, Redeemer Of The World!
Vespers and Matins on Christmas Day
Words: Jesu Redemptor Onmium
Source: Rev. Edward Caswall, Lyra Catholica: containing all the hymns of the Roman Breviary and Missal (New York: G. Dunigan And Brother, 1851), p.
Jesu, Redeemer of the world!
Who, ere the earliest dawn of light,
Wast from eternal ages born,
Immense in glory as in might;
Immortal Hope of all mankind!
In whom the Father's face we see;
Hear Thou the prayers thy people pour
This day throughout the world to Thee.
Remember, O Creator Lord!
That in the Virgin's sacred womb
Thou wast conceived, and of her flesh
Didst our mortality assume.
This ever-blest recurring day
Its witness bears, that all alone,
From thy own Father's bosom forth,
To save the world Thou camest down
O Day! to which the seas and sky,
And earth and Heav'n, glad welcome sing;
O Day! which heal'd our misery,
And brought on earth salvation's King.
We too, O Lord, who have been cleansed
In thy own fount of blood divine,
Offer the tribute of sweet song,
On this blest natal day of thine,
O Jesu! born of Virgin bright,
Immortal glory be to Thee;
Praise to the Father infinite,
And Holy Ghost eternally.

Jesu, our soul's redeeming Lord, The God by loving hearts adored, Who ere the dawn of primal light Didst share in all the Father's might ; Glad brightness of thy Father's rays, The crowning hope of all our days, Whilst through the world thy children bend, Oh, to our lowly prayers attend.

Jesu, our soul's redeeming Lord, The God by loving hearts adored, Who ere the dawn of primal light Didst share in all the Father's might ; Glad brightness of thy Father's rays, The crowning hope of all our days, Whilst through the world thy children bend, Oh, to our lowly prayers attend. Remember, Lord, thou didst assume Within thy stainless Mother's womb Our mortal form, that clad in flesh Thou mightst our sinking souls refresh. As yearly comes this solemn day, Glad homage all thy children pay, Its tidings sweet they all confess, And thee, their sole Redeemer, bless. The heavens above, the rolling main And all that earth's wide realms contain, With joyous voice now loudly sing The glory of their new-born king. And we, too, ransomed by the tide Which issued from thy sacred side, On this thy natal-day rejoice, And homage pay with eager voice. Jesu, to thee, the Virgin's Son, Be everlasting homage done ; To God the Father we repeat The same, and to the Paraclete.
