English text

In Bethlehem, that noble place,
As by prophecy said it was,
Of the Virgin Mary, full of grace,
Salvator mundi natus est.
Be we merry in this feast
In quo Salvator natus est.

On Christmas night an Angel it told
To the shepherds keeping their fold
That in Bethlehem with beats wolde, (wild)
Salvator mundi natus est.

The shepherds were compassed right,
About them was a great light,
“Dread ye naught,” said the Angel bright,
Salvator mundi natus est.

“Behold! To you we bring great joy.
For why? Jesus is born to-day
Of Mary that mild may, (maid)
Salvator mundi natus est.

“And thus in faith find it ye shall,
Lying poorly in an ox's stall.”
The shepherds then lauded God all,
Quia Salvator mundi natus est.
Be we merry in this feast
In quo Salvator natus est.
