1 Puer nobis nascitur
Rector angelorum;
In hoc mundo pascitur
Dominus dominorum.

2 In praepe ponitur
Sub fœno asinorum.
Cognoverunt dominum
Christum regem cœorum.

3 Hinc Herodes timuit—
Magno cum dolore,
Et pueros occidit,
Infantes cum livore.

4 Qui natus est ex Marie—
Die hodierna
Ducat nos cum gratia
D gaudia superna.

5 O et Α et Α et O
Cum cantibus in choro,
Cum canticis et organo,
Benedicamus domino.

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
