Jens Klimek - A virgin most pure - ноты, текст песни (слова)

A virgin most pure, as the prophets do tell,
 hath brought forth a Baby, as it hath befell,
 to be our Redeemer from death, hell and sin,
 which Adam's transgression has wrapped us in.
 
 At Bethlehem city, in Jewry it was
 where Mary and Joseph together did pass,
 and there to be taxed, with many one more,
 for Caesar commanded the same should be in.
 
 R.: So let us be merry, put sorrows aside;
 Christ Jesus, our Savior was born on this tide.
 
 But, when they had entered the city so fair
 a number of people so mighty was there,
 that Joseph and Mary, whose substance was small,
 could get in the city no lodging at all.
 
 Then were they constrained in a stable to lie,
 where oxen and asses they used to tie;
 their lodging so simple, they held it no scorn,
 but against the next morning, our Savior was born.
 R.
 
 The king of all glory to this world being brought,
 small store of fine linen to wrap him was sought,
 and when she had swaddled her young son so sweet,
 within an ox manger she laid him to sleep.
 R.
