in Isaiah(42:1) 1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
So there is no more obvious statement than this one. As God has clarified this truth that he is a slave of God and God has placed his spirit on him to support him like the other prophets.
(Please note that this is not a direct translation as some words in Latin just don't fit the meter in English, and thus some small changes are made e.g. swapping myrrh and frankincense.)

Many thanks for translation Laisairfion and frizbe666.
It is a beautiful anthem, but it always helps to know the meaning of the words!

Let the boys' cheerful noise
Sing today none but joys,
Praise aloud, clear and proud,
Praise to him in chorus,
Giv'n from heaven for us
Virgin born, born, born,
Virgin born, born, born,
Virgin born on that morn,
Procreated for us.

He who rules heaven and earth
Lies in stall at his birth,
Humble beasts at his feast
See the Light eternal
Vanquish realms infernal:
Satan's done, done, done,
Satan's done, done, done,
Satan's done, God has won,
Victor, he, supernal.

Magi come from afar
See their sun, tiny one,
Follow far little star,
At the crib adoring,
Man to God restoring,
Gold and myrrh, myrrh, myrrh,
Gold and myrrh, myrrh, myrrh,
Gold and myrth offered there,
Incense for adoring.

Clerk and boy, join in joy,
Sing as heaven sings for joy,
God this day here doth stay,
Pour we forth the story,
Of his might and glory:
So to God, God, God,
So to God, God, God,
So to God glory be,
In the highest Glory.

"Let the voices of the little boys sing forth today,
praising ['iucundae' I don't know off hand] him who has been born for us, given by God on high, born of a virgin's womb.
And then some more Latin, innit? ;-)
