- 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.
