VERSE 1
Unto us is born a son,
King of Quires supernal:
See on earth His life begun,
Of Lords the Lord eternal,
Of Lords the Lord eternal.
VERSE 2
As from heav'n descending low,
Comes on earth a stranger:
Ox and ass their Owner know
Be cradled in the manger,
Be cradled in the manger.
VERSE 3
This did Herod sore affray
And grievously bewilder;
So he gave the word to slay,
And slew the little children,
And slew the little children.
VERSE 4
Of his love and mercy mild
This the Xmas story:
And O that Mary's gentle Child
Might lead us up to glory,
Might lead us up to glory.
VERSE 5
O and A and A and O,
Cum cantibus in choro,
Let our merry organ go,
Benedicamus Domino,
Benedicamus Domino.
DESCANT
O and A and A and O,
Cum cantibus in choro,
Let our merry organ go,
Benedicamus Domino,
Benedicamus Domino.
