¶Lyrics / Text

Mater ora filium, Ut post hoc exilium Nobis donet gaudium Beatorum omnium. Fair maiden, who is this bairn That thou bearest in thine arm? Sir, it is a Kingës Son That in heav’n above doth won. Man to Father he hath none, But himself God alone; Of a maid he would be born, To save mankind that was forlorn. Mater ora filium, Ut post hoc exilium Nobis donet gaudium Beatorum omnium. Three kings brought him presents, Gold, myrrh, and frankincense, To my Son full of might, King of kings and lord of right. Mater ora filium, Ut post hoc exilium Nobis donet gaudium Beatorum omnium. Fair maiden, pray for us Unto thy Son, sweet Jesus, That he will send us of his grace In heav’n on high to have a place. Mater ora filium, Ut post hoc exilium Nobis donet gaudium Beatorum omnium.
