Full Lyrics
1. Childing of a maiden bright
Life today hath brought to light;
And hath put that prince of might
With his flock of fiends to flight:
Christus natus hodie.
2. Whoso aught hath done amiss
An it rue him sore for this,
Mary's Babe will shrive iwis,
Gentle as a lamb He is:
Miserere, Domine.
3. He at Bethlehem was born,
Salem gave Him crown of thorn,
Life of want and death of scoreAll for love of man forlorn.
Ergo benedicite
.
4. On this Infant may we call,
Born for man in oxenstall:
He vouchsafe us bliss withal
In His everlasting hall.
Cum Maria Virgine.
