VIII. “In the ending of the year.”
1
In the ending of the yearLife and light to man appear;
And the Holy babe is here
De Virgine;
And the Holy Babe is here
De Virgine Mariâ.
2
What in ancient days was slainThis day calls to life again;
God is coming, God shall reign
28
God is coming, God shall reign
De Virgine Mariâ.
3
From the desert grew the corn,Sprang the lily from the thorn,
When the Infant King was born
De Virgine;
When the Infant King was born
De Virgine Mariâ.
29
4
On the straw He lays His head,Hath a manger for His bed,
Thirsts and hungers and is fed
De Virgine;
Thirsts and hungers and is fed
De Virgine Mariâ.
5
Angel hosts His praises sing,Three wise men their off'rings bring,
Ox and ass adore the King,
30
Ox and ass adore the King,
Cum Virgine Mariâ.
6
Wherefore let us all todayBanish sorrow far away,
Singing and exulting aye,
Cum Virgine;
Singing and exulting aye,
Cum Virgine Mariâ.
