This version is from the Noteworthy Christmas CD, and is performed by the Chor Leoni Mens Choir. The illustration is Peter Paul Rubens' "Adoration of the Magi". The Latin lyrics and English translation follow: Gaudete, gaudete! Christus est natus Ex Maria virgine, gaudete! Rejoice, rejoice! Christ is born Of the Virgin Mary — rejoice!

Hoc est enim corpus meum The world's eternity lies here within my hand. The weight of pain, of love, redemption is a sigh upon my hand, My Christ, Lord of the infinite, small to my comfort in my hand. Humility of Love that tender here lies low. White, trusting, full of care within my hand. So, in my hand lies God. Hoc est enim corpus meum.  less
