Info: Lyrics 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. Whoso aught hath done amiss, An it rue him sore for this, Mary's Babe will shrive i-wis, Gentle as a lamb He is: Miserere, Domine. He at Bethlehem was born, Salem gave Him crown of thorn, Life of want and death of score -- All for love of man forlorn. Ergo benedicite. On this Infant may we call, Born for man in oxen-stall: He vouchsafe us bliss withal In His everlasting hall. Cum Maria Virgine. |
