Аноним (2) - Childing of a maiden bright - текст песни (слова)

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 i-wis,
 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 score --
 All for love of man forlorn.
 Ergo benedicite.
 
 4. On this Infant may we call,
 Born for man in oxen-stall:
 He vouchsafe us bliss withal
 In His everlasting hall.
 Cum Maria Virgine.
