1.
A babe is born all of a may,
In the salvation of us,
To them we sing both night and day,
Veni, Creator Spiritus.
2.
At Bethlehem that blessed place,
The child is bliss born He was,
Him to serve God give us grace,
O Lux Beata Trinitas.
3.
There came three kings out of the East,
To worship the King that is so free,
With gold and myrrh and frankincense,
A solis ortus cardine.
4.
The herdsmen heard an Angel cry,
A merry song then sung he,
Why are ye so sore aghast?
Jam ortus solis cardine.
5.
The Angel(s) came down with a cry,
A fair song then sung he,
In the worship of that child,
Jam ortus solis cardine.
