Text: O admirabile commercium
Jacob Handl (1550–1591)
| Original Text | English Translation |
| O admirabile commercium: Creator generis humani, animatum corpus sumens, de Virgine nasci dignatus est, et procedens homo sine semine, largitus est nobis suam deitatem. |
O wonderful exchange: the Creator of human kind, assuming a living body, deigned to be born of a virgin; and, coming forth as a human apart from seed, he lavished on us his divinity. |
