¶Lyrics / Text

English|Latin| There is no rose of such virtue As is the rose that bare Jesu ''Res miranda Alleluia'' For in this rose contained was Heav'n and earth in little space ''Res miranda, Alleluia'' By this rose we may well see there be one God in Persons three ''Pares forma, Alleluia,'' The angels sungen the shepherds unto ''Gloria in excelsis Deo'' ''Gaudeamus, Alleluia'' Then leave we all this worldly mirth, And follow we this joyous birth, ''Transeamus, Alleluia.''
