English|Latin| 1. Childing of a maiden bright Life today hath brought to light; And hath put that prince of might With his flock of fiends to flight: ''Christus natus hodie''. 2. Whoso aught hath done amiss, An it rue him sore for this, Mary's Babe will shrive i-wis, Gentle as a lamb He is: ''Miserere, Domine''. 3. He at Bethlehem was born, Salem gave Him crown of thorn, Life of want and death of score -- All for love of man forlorn. ''Ergo benedicite''. 4. On this Infant may we call, Born for man in oxen-stall: He vouchsafe us bliss withal In His everlasting hall. ''Cum Maria Virgine''.
