Puer Natus Est Nobis

William Byrd (c. 1539-1623)

Puer natus est nobis
A boy is born to us,
Et filius datus est nobis
And a son is given to us,
Cuius imperium super humerum eius
upon whose shoulders authority rests,
Et vocabitur nomen eius
and His name will be called
Magni consilii Angelus
The Angel of Great Counsel
