32. An heavenly song
An heavenly song, I dare well say,
Is sung in earth to man this day.
Is sung in earth to man this day.
[1]
This is the song that ye shall hear:God is come from his empere,
And is made man with high desire,
This day.
2
He took our kind all of a maid;By ox and ass he was y-laid;
Now is fulfilled that Scripture said
This day.
3
Ay I wonder this in my mind:That he that all may loose and bind
Would be laid by beastës unkind
This day.
4
He is a lord, and by natureA maiden's breast he suck full pure;
Heaven and earth beth in his cure
This day.
