[To vs is borne a barne of blis]
To vs is borne a barne of blis,
Our King and Empreour.
Ane gratious Uirgin Mother is,
To God hir Sauiour.
Had not that blyssit barne bene borne,
We had bene euerie ane forlorne.
With Sin and feindis fell:
Christ Iesus louing be to the
That thow ane man wald borne be,
To saif vs from the hell.

Had not that blyssit barne bene borne,
We had bene euerie ane forlorne.
With Sin and feindis fell:
Christ Iesus louing be to the
That thow ane man wald borne be,
To saif vs from the hell.
For neuer was, nor sall be man,
Nor woman in this lyfe:
Sen Adam first our sin began,
And Eue his weddit wyfe.
That can be saif throw thair gude deid,
For poysound all ar adamis seid,
And can not sin refraine.
Quhill God him self fand the remeid,
And gaue his only Sone to the deid
To freith vs from all paine.
Nor woman in this lyfe:

And Eue his weddit wyfe.
That can be saif throw thair gude deid,
For poysound all ar adamis seid,
And can not sin refraine.
Quhill God him self fand the remeid,
And gaue his only Sone to the deid
To freith vs from all paine.
We suld lufe God and myrrie be,
And dryue away dispair:
For Christ is cummin from heuin sa hie,
Our fall for to repair.
Na toung sic kyndnes can expres,
The forme of seruand takin hes
And Verbum caro factu est.
Except Sin, lyke vnto vs all,
Is freith vs from the feindis thrall
And mend quhair we did mis.

Full weill is them for euer moir,
That trowis faithfullie:
Be grace to ring with Christ in gloir,
Throw faith allanerlie,
And weill is them that vnderstude,
The gracious gift of Christis blude,
Sched sinners for to win:
Was neuer hard sa kynde ane thing,
Christ for his fais on Croce did hing,
To purge vs from our sin.

Thus thank we him full hartfully,
For his greit gentilnes:
We pray him for his greit mercy,
Trew Preichouris till Iucres.
Fals Pharisians, and fenȝeit lair,
Quhome we haue followit lait and air,
Baith them and vs forgiue
God father, Sone, and haly Spreit,
Instruct vs in thy word sa sweit,
And efter it to liue.
