I'm not totally certain what this means. It's obviously in Latin of some kind. I speak a little bit of Latin (not enough to translate) and this sounds Latin. Plus, the Mediaeval Baebes sing old Medieval songs, and back then the Catholic church had a bunch of Latin songs in the church. (I think so...I'm not totally certain about the history.) "Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine" sounds something like it means "Christ is born of the Virgin Mary". I think but am not certain that "Mundus renovatus est, a Christo regnante" means something like "the world is changed, Christ reigns". (The Catholic Latin songs had religious meanings like this, of course.)
I really don't know. I can't speak Latin very well, and I'm certainly not at the point where I'd be able to translate whole songs in it. (I'm only 14; most 14 year olds are neither able to translate Latin songs nor are listening to the Mediaeval Baebes.) But that's what I think it means. Basically it's the idea that the singer is happy because Jesus Christ is born and he's ruler of the earth.
Pippin: Your Latin is far better than the average person of any age these days (unless said person is a member of a Catholic Church and took Latin in Sunday school)

The song is simply an old hymn, and I can't really trace anything extra about it. The basic translation is:
Rejoice, Rejoice!
Christ is born
Of the virgin Mary,
Rejoice!

It is now the time of grace
That we have desired;
Let us sing songs of joy,
Let us give devotion.

God was made man,
And nature marvels;
The world was renewed
By Christ who is King.

The closed...
The closed gate of Ezechiel (This line speaks of a Biblical prophesy written in the book of Ezekiel "the closed gate" being Mary)
Has been passed through;
From where the light rises
Salvation is found.
Therefore let our assembly now sing,
Sing the Psalms to purify us;
Let it praise the Lord:
Greetings to our King.
