You can probably figure out the Latin yourself: “Rejoice, for Christ is born!” I know it’s a Christmas hymn, I know we’re in Lent; but I was moved to choose this song today, so here it is… sung by Maddy Prior with Steeleye Span.

‘Gaudete’ (“Rejoice!”)
No hymn requests, so I had to find a hymn on YouTube and this is the first one that came up–Gaudete: “Rejoice! Christ is born of Virgin Mary.”
And really–if that doesn’t happen, we haven’t got a prayer.
‘Gaudete’ (for Christmas!)
Come on, come on! The Carol Contest isn’t over! Let’s see some nominations.
Gaudete (“Rejoice!”) is a wild, exuberant medieval Christmas carol–oh, but you don’t need me to tell you that. Click it on and enjoy it! Performed by the London Cello Orchestra and the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge.
‘Gaudete’ (‘Rejoice!’)
I usually save this for Christmas–Gaudete (“Rejoice”), a medieval carol performed by the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge, and the London Cello Orchestra–but has this fallen world ever needed Christ the Savior more than it needs Him now? “Rejoice, for Christ is born of Mary!”
That was the only “reset” that mattered.
‘Gaudete’ (with Maddy Prior)
I couldn’t resist this a capella rendition of the hymn, Gaudete, by Steeleye Span with Maddy Prior–wow! This really is making a joyful noise unto the Lord.
‘Gaudete’
This little intro is taking forever to type–the mouse spits out gibberish, I have to delete it and try again.
Gaudete, a medieval hymn performed by the London Cello Orchestra and the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge–I usually reserve it for Christmas-time: but we could all use some pumping-up, can’t we?
Pea-Brained Anti-Christs
I posted this nice medieval hymn this morning, Gaudete: “Rejoice, for Jesus Christ is born of Mary.” But I didn’t post the comments that came with it.
This one in particular: “All that burning and boiling people alive just for thinking freely–it makes me sick!”
Religious wars perpetrated by Christians, mostly against other Christians, were indeed a monstrous sin. But they’ve kind of gone out of fashion since the 1600s, and it’d probably be pretty hard to get one started up today. Like, we don’t do that anymore. And it never, never, never had anything to do with Jesus Christ or His teachings in the first place!
But just to set the record straight–Dude, move to China and try to do some “thinking freely” over there, and see what happens to you. See if your ignorance will protect you there.
In the 20th century alone, more people were murdered by their own socialist governments (“Nazi” is short for “National Socialist”; you could look it up) than were killed by all the world’s religions in all the preceding centuries put together. We don’t have an exact count, but demographers and historians are sure it’s more than 100 million–all done to death by Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Lenin, Castro, Pol Pot–and in peacetime, no less.
There are many people still alive who saw it. But there’s no one left over from the Thirty Years War.
Europe’s religious wars of the 16th-17th centuries were sins against God, against His holy catholic church, and against the human race. You can blame them on bad Christians, but not on Jesus Christ or anything He said or did. We repent, and pray such things never happen again.
But when was the last time you heard a communist repent?
‘Gaudete’
No one got around to entering this carol in the carol contest: a medieval Christmas carol, Gaudete–whose lyrics tell us, in Latin, to rejoice, for Jesus Christ is born of Mary.
Performed by the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge, and the London Cello Orchestra.
For Christmas, 2019: ‘Gaudete’
About now we should be settling down to Christmas dinner with my brother and sister. While we do that, here’s another carol for you.
Gaudete, sung by the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge, with the London Cello Orchestra–“Gaudete, Christus est natus ex Maria.” In English: “Rejoice! Christ is born of Mary.”
Yes, I think we can rejoice in those glad tidings!
‘Gaudete!’
Consider this a warm-up toss, heading toward Christmas–Gaudete, performed by Maddy Prior with Steeleye Span.
This hymn was first published in the 16th century. The Latin means “Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary.”
