Oh! santísimo, felicísimo,
Grato tiempo de Navidad!
Al mundo perdido
Cristo le ha nacido:
¡Alegría, alegría, cristiandad!
Oh! santísimo, felicísimo,
Grato tiempo de Navidad!
Coros celestiales
Oyen los mortales:
¡Alegría, alegría, cristiandad!
Oh! santísimo, felicísimo,
Grato tiempo de Navidad!
Príncipe del cielo,
Danos tu consuelo:
¡Alegría, alegría, cristiandad!
