By John Predmore, S.J. 
Lord Jesus,                                          Señor Jesus,
    together with the shepherds                  juntos con los pastores
    we draw near to your crib.                    nos acercamos a tu cuna.
We contemplate you,                            Nosotros te contemplamos,
    wrapped in swaddling cloths                  envuelto en pañales
    and lying in the manger.                        y acostado en un pesebre.        
 
O Babe of Bethlehem,                          O Niño de Belén,
   we adore you in silence with Mary,        te adoramos en silencio con Maria,
   your ever-Virgin Mother.                       tu Madre siempre-Virgen.
To you be glory and praise forever,       A ti sea la gloria y la alabanza por siempre,
    O Savior of the world.                          oh Salvador del mundo.

Amen.
