It seems that the version of this I have has rather more verses than standard. That's alright, it will give you time to learn the refrain if you're singing along.

Puer natus in Bethlehem by artsyhonker

Puer natus in Bethlehem, alleluia,
Unde gaudet Jerusalem, alleluia, alleluia.

Cum novo cantico.

Tamquam sponsus de thalamo, alluia,
Processit Matris utero, alleluia, alleluia.

Et Angelus pastoribus, alleluia,
Revelat quod sit Dominus, alleluia, alleluia.

Reges de Sabâ veniunt, alleluia,

Benedicamus Domino, alleluia, alleluia.
