Quando natus es ineffabiliter ex virgine tunc impletae sunt scripturae. Sicut pluvia in vellus descendisti ut salvum faceres genus humanum. Te laudamus deus noster.

When you were born unutterably of a virgin, then the scriptures were fulfilled. Like rain on the fleece you descended in order to save mankind. We praise you, our God.
