I'm not entirely sure how useful the mention and quotation of a textual variation on a CD by the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra is - I suspect there might be lots of versions out there, and is this recording particularly noteworthy? I can't help thinking it looks a bit tacked on. Rob (talk) 23:12, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Here's my translation of the 1582 text:
Today let small boys' voices resound, joyfully praising the one who is born to us, given by the highest God, and begotten of a virgin's womb.
He is born in the world, wrapped in swaddling-clothes, put in a stable, a hovel of animals, the ruler of the celestial beings, the prince has destroyed hell's loot.
Three Magi will come, they bring gifts, they seek a little child, following a star, worshipping him, bringing him gold, incense, and myrrh. 
Let all little clerics, together with boys, sing like angels: You have come to the world, I pour out praises to you, so glory to God in the highest.
