Text

Title: Leccio in nativitate domini nostri Jesu Christi

Jube domine benedicere
Primo tempore alleviata est terra
Sabulon et terra Neptalim
Et in novissimo agravata est via maris trans Jordanem Galilee gencium
Populus gencium qui ambulabat in tenebris vidit lucem magnam
Habitantibus in regione umbre mortis lux orta est eis
Multiplicasti gentem magnificasti leticiam
Hec dicit dominus deus convertimini ad me et salvi eritis.
