On Christes day, I understand, An ear of wheat of a maid sprang, Thirty winters on earth to stand, To make us bread, all to His pay. A blessed bird, as I you say, That died and rose on Good Friday. 2. This corn was reapen and laid to ground, Full sore beaten and faste bound Unto a pillar with cordes round, At His finger's ends the blood ran out that day. A blessed bird, as I you say, That died and rose on Good Friday. 3. This corn was reapen with great envy Upon the Mount of Calvary; Token He shoed on Shere-Thursday, Maundy He gave to His disciples there. A blessed bird, as I you say, That died and rose on Good Friday. 4. Jesu upon His body the Cross bare; Water and blood came from Him there; This corn was scourged all in fere; Till it waxed blood-red. A blessed bird, as I you say, That died and rose on Good Friday. 5. A crowne of thorns set on His head, And He was done on the Rood, And beaten till His body was bloody-red; Thus they beat Jesu, our debt to pay. A blessed bird, as I you say, That died and rose on Good Friday. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
