Translation of “Missa”


We come to meet him in (this place/His House).

Our delight (in what we see) words cannot express.
(Yet) how can we avoid speaking (of that which we now see)?
We are (driven/compelled/forced) to sing and dance

with instruments and fragrant wood (incense).

(for the) glory of Christ, the (infant) son.
