7. Nowell sing we
Nowell sing we now all and some,
For rex pacificus is come.
For rex pacificus is come.
[1]
In Bethlem in that fair city,A child was born of a maiden free,
That shall a lord and princë be,
A solis ortus cardine.
2
Children were slain full great plenty,Jesu, for the love of thee;
Wherefore their soulës savëd be,
Hostis Herodis impie.
3
As sunnë shineth through the glass,So Jesu in his mother was;
Thee to servë now grant us grace,
O lux beata Trinitas.
4
Now God is comën to worshipën us;Now of Mary is born Jesus;
Make we merry amongës us;
Exultet celum laudibus.
